Can't upgrade nexuiz from edgy-backports

[David Cooper]

Binary package hint: nexuiz

It seems nexuiz has been backported from 2.0 to 2.2.3, but the package it relies on, nexuiz-data, has not.

nexuiz:
  Depends: nexuiz-data (>=2.2.3-1) but 2.0-hotfix20060616-1 is to be installed

nexuiz-music hasn't been backported either.

Reproducable as described, confirming.

Well nexuiz, nexuiz-data, nexuiz-music, & nexuiz-server are all now backported to 2.2.3-1~edgy1 now and I still get a dependency error.

nexuiz:
  Depends: nexuiz-data (>=2.2.3-1) but 2.2.3-1~edgy1 is to be installed

nexuiz-server:
  Depends: nexuiz-data (>=2.2.3-1) but 2.2.3-1~edgy1 is to be installed

Yay, dependencies are fun. I will prepare a patch that fixes this as soon as I am back on campus, where the internet doesn't play this little Java applet that goes "Your time will expire soon; please feed me more credit cards."

[Florian Kisser (flok)]

That's the tilde which makes the backport version of nexuiz-data a little bit less than 2.2.3-1, so the dependency is not met (>=2.2.3-1).

[Simon Ruggier (simon80)]

I got tired of waiting, so I fixed it myself, here's the diff, if it helps.

[Jojo12a (jojo12a)]

You have to change the backport diff, not the feisty diff...
Also, you should change the data dependency for client and server.
Last point: use ${Source-Version} instead of 2.2.3-1~edgy1 to kill the error source.

I attached a fixed fix.

[Jojo12a (jojo12a)]

I have not seen the recommend of nexuiz-music, the change should be there too.

[Simon Ruggier (simon80)]

Sorry, I forgot that I was working with the original feisty package.

[John Dong (jdong)]

Thanks, I will take a look at this very soon.

[Jan Girlich (vollkorn)]

I don't want to bug you, John Dong, but could you please take a look at this problem and upload the patch? Would be great, thanks.

[John Dong (jdong)]

Attached debdiff against edgy-backports. Archive master, please sponsor to edgy-backports

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I've uploaded jdong's fix to gutsy instead; we can backport it from there.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

nexuiz (2.2.3-1ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Use ${Source-Version} in dependencies to ease backporting (LP: #95002).

I this supposed to be fixed? I still get this behavior in Edgy.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  nexuiz: Depends: nexuiz-data (>= 2.2.3-1ubuntu1~edgy1) but 2.2.3-1~edgy1 is to be installed
