ccmake missing?

[Katrina Niolet]

Since yesterday, ccmake seems to be completely missing from my system (and the cmake package)... A remove/reinstall didint help, as shown below.

katrina@dominique:~/workspace/ndi/Debug$ ccmake ..

I should mention this is Hardy with the latest updates

Thanks for reporting this issue and help to make ubuntu better.

You seem to install cmake from a ppa. Please remove the ppa from the sources.list file and try to install it from the normal archive and see if you can use it then.

Thanks

[Katrina Niolet (katrina)]

Aha! It comes from:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main

Commenting out that line in sources.list then removing/reinstalling cmake did indeed work.
Is there a separate procedure for reporting a bug in the ppa package?

Thanks!

I CC'd Richard Johnson who IMO built those packages (nice job Richard :)

[Sébastien Valette (sebastien-valette)]

for the record, ccmake is also missing in the "backports" version of cmake (2.6.0-4~hardy1) uploaded recently.

[Evan Lezar (evanlezar)]

Just to confirm that the version in backports is also mission ccmake. Downgraded to cmake 2.4 for the time being.

[Aleksander Demko (ademko)]

I'm getting hit with this bug too. Is there a way to permanently not upgrade to the broken cmake 2.6 package? All my machines keep wanting to auto install it.

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

This seems to be a problem with the build-deps.

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

Fixed the problem with the missing ccmake executable.

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

The corrected package should be available now at http://ppa.launchpad.net/txwikinger/ubuntu

@Richard Could you please upload the fix to intrepid and to the hardy common ppa?

Thanks

The debian cmake package (2.6.0-4) does include the ccmake binary. Maybe you can just sync it instead?

[hunger (hunger)]

Update to my previous post:

The debian source package seems to have a broken build dependency on libncursesw while ccmake is actually linking against libncurses. This is why it builds for me (I happen to have libncurses-dev installed) but not on the buildbot.

So we need to wait for debian to fix this... I just wish that would happen soonish, the last entry in the debian bug report is from may 24th:-(

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

Resolved in 2.6.0-4ubuntu1

[deadalnix (deadalnix)]

Regression !

I have the bug in karmic.

I suppose it just moved :)
