[needs-packaging] libpoe-component-client-http-perl dependancy not met

[Albert Witteveen (Pluton)]

Binary package hint: webgui

I tried the package but on multiple machines I get the following error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  webgui: Depends: libpoe-component-client-http-perl (>= 0.88) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I've tried on machines with 32 bit Ubuntu as well as 64 bit. All are on 10.4 (Lucid Lynx) stable. All the same message

This is an issue for me too. Webgui is broken as a result. Unable to install. Why would you release it this way?

I ran into the same problem and found out, that the package in question and it´s dependencies are missing in Lucid but are present in Karmic. Somehow they have not been enabled. This is maybe a mistake (most likely) or there are issues not beeing (re)solved with Lucid.

Anyhow, here is what I did to make the apt-get installation running flawless :-)

Open:

  sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Add at the end of the file following two lines

  deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic universe
  deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic universe

I then did a
  sudo apt-get update

Afterwards I manually installed, before Webgui:

  sudo apt-get install libpoe-component-client-http-perl

And after finishing I uncomment the two lines above

As a final step

  sudo apt-get install webgui

You can always, before installing a package, check if there will be problems coming up by issuing the command:

  sudo apt-get -s install <package>

There you will see, if there are dependencies not beeing resolved properly without installing anything.
