Quickly should depend on bzr-builddeb

[Tan Kah Ping]

Binary package hint: quickly

When I ran 'quickly package' command I get an error (see below):

..........Ubuntu packaging created in debian/
.An error has occurred during package building
ERROR: package command failed
Aborting

After digging around and manually running dpkg-buildpackage command, I found that it needs fakeroot which strangely wasn't installed together with quickly although it needs it. Install fakeroot and Quickly's package command works.

I don't think quickly needs to explicitly depend on fakeroot because quickly doesn't do the building itself. Since quickly depends on python-distutils-extra, p-d-e should depend on fakeroot.

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

No, Quickly is doing the build. python-mkdebian is just creating the packaging.

Weid that you didn't get fakeroot: bzr-builddeb is depending on it. Do you have a broken dpkg database?

[Tan Kah Ping (kahping)]

I don't think so. How do I find out?

I don't get any errors or warnings whenever I install, remove, or update with apt-get so I'm assuming that means everything is OK

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

Can you try aptitude why fakeroot

and apt-cache policy bzr-builddeb
if installed:
aptitude why bzr-builddeb

Oops. My mistake. Sorry.

[Tan Kah Ping (kahping)]

~$ sudo aptitude why fakeroot

... gives me:

i devscripts Recommends fakeroot

while,

~$ sudo apt-cache policy bzr-builddeb

outputs:

bzr-builddeb:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.6
  Version table:
     2.6 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe amd64 Packages

if I'm reading that right, bzr-builddeb is not installed?

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

ok, my bad, I didn't depend on bzr-builddeb. You should install it :)
