dependency problems: depends on libwxgtk2.8-dev (<< 2.8.12~), but 2.8.12.1-6ubuntu1 is to be installed

[Frederic Briol]

On Friday, February 3, the installation of "libalien-wxwidgets-perl" is not possible because there are unresolved dependencies problems :

# dpkg -i libalien-wxwidgets-perl_0.53+dfsg-1_i386.deb

I get a similar error about unmet dependencies when attempting to install libalien-wxwidgets-perl on Ubuntu Precise.

I'm syncing the latest version from Debian right now which should resolve this issue with a rebuild.

This bug was fixed in the package libalien-wxwidgets-perl - 0.54+dfsg-1

libalien-wxwidgets-perl (0.54+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.

  [ Dominique Dumont ]
  * control: BD on libwxgtk2.8-dev >= 2.8.12.1-6 to force dependency on
    new multi-arch lib
  * control: added dod to uploaders
