Error installing Funguloids: ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager doesnt exist

[David Futcher]

Binary package hint: funguloids

When trying to install Funguloids i get this error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  funguloids: Depends: ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I have all the repositories enabled (see attached sources.list) and packages.ubuntu.com confirms the file is missing.

This can be fixed when Bug #195065 is synced

I hope you understand why we ask for an UBUNTU build log:

 -> Considering build-dep libogre-dev (>= 1.4.6)
      Tried versions: 1.4.5-3build1
   -> Does not satisfy version, not trying
E: Could not satisfy build-dependency.
E: pbuilder-satisfydepends failed.

All the other build-depends seems ok:

debhelper (>= 5), quilt, libtool, automake, pkg-config, nvidia-cg-toolkit (>= 2.0), libfreetype6-dev, libfreeimage-dev, libzzip-dev, libogre-dev (>= 1.4.6), libogre-dev (<< 1.4.7)

I can also confirm this bug on Hardy (alpha 5)...

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Confirmed here. The package is kind of useless as it is atm, but the game is great.

[Niels Egberts (nielsegberts)]

I'm running into the same problem in Intrepid.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Wooh...

Guess this means it'll get fixed in 8.10?

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Not with current nvidia-cg-toolkit, which requires internet access to be available during the build of ogre-contrib.
We have talked about this with nvidia but until they change it it won't be possible to build in our buildd any package that build-depends on it.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Hrm.

But getdeb.net somehow managed to provide a Funguloids package before:
http://www.google.ca/search?q=site%3Agetdeb.net+Funguloids&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a

Or what they did doesn't fit in ubuntu standards?

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

ogre 1.4.9 sync requested in bug 253582
nvidia-cg-toolkit 2.0.0015.deb1 sync requested in bug 253584
ogre-contrib 1.4.9 sync requested in bug 253585
funguloids 1.06-7 sync requested in bug 253586
ogre-doc-nonfree 1.4.9.dfsg1-1 is not yet published in Debian and therefore cannot be synced

Note that funguloids will still be not installable since ogre-contrib will still fail to build in the buildd.

[AFarris01 (afarris01)]

I can confirm, this is still an issue in ubuntu 9.04.

the required packages can be downloaded from the debian-sid online repos. but theres a lot of other packages that 'ogre' depends on, that would need to be installed also. some of them are also available in the new karmic repository

[lukjad86 (lukjad86)]

I can confirm the conformation. ;-)
Ubuntu 9.04 still has this bug.

[Simon Marti (marphy43-gmail)]

I can confirm this too. I use the current development version of Ubuntu 9.10.

[Grzegorz Śliwiński (fizyk)]

yes, there are also several other packages, especially among games, that are installable because of this ogre-something package dependency. And since those games are listed within Ubuntu Software Center, I suppose it could be quite annoying for people that decided to install those few games ;)

[chris_c (c-camacho)]

fix committed 2008-07-27? i'm still seeing this in 9.10 a year and a half later

if theres some nvidia politics causing this the either drop the package or remove the nvidia dependency
just leaving a dead package in the repo for nearly 2 years now is far from ideal
and reflects badly on ubuntu...

[Arben (arben-sali)]

Yeah, i tired on my nedia pc and my laptop and get the same errors. Hope this gets sorted as I am very curious to seee how this game is.

[Thammuz (pmrmp)]

I second chris_c's comment, it makes no sense to have the game in the reposiory for now.

Awesome site:

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager

Links to dependencies on page.

[Michael (miiichael)]

Yep, uninstallable in 10.04 too.

[Eiríkr Útlendi (erikanderson3)]

Same bug, same exact error message, same exact package uninstall-ability, over two years and running. Is anyone working on this?

[Eiríkr Útlendi (erikanderson3)]

WORKAROUND:

$ sudo apt-get install libogremain-1.6.4

Then follow this link to download ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager

The package links are at the bottom of the page. As other comments in this thread note, an internet connection is required for the ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager package to configure itself.

Finally, install Funguloids itself.

$ sudo apt-get install funguloids

Now that I've successfully installed it, here's hoping it works...

[Eiríkr Útlendi (erikanderson3)]

Meh, it were all moot -- the game consistently segfaults on me. This may be due to my crappy old graphics card, an ATI RV380 [Radeon X600]. Anyone else care to try?

[Yotam Benshalom (benshalom)]

Eirikr, I followed your steps with nvidia 9500m and got the same segfault.

I really do not understand why ubuntu keeps this in the repositories (and in the software centre too!). What is the point in keeping an uninstallable package?

[rewind (ttanev)]

Well my graphics card isn't old - HD4870 and I followed the Eirikr steps too. Got the same segfault whenever I try to start it. I saw some patches on the official sourceforge page - "Set of patches, including one that enables Funguloids to work with Ogre 1.6", but didn't understood how can I use them...

[Vincenzo Tilotta (tailot)]

Ubuntu 10.10 still has this bug.
Solution:
install http://packages.debian.org/sid/ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager
sudo apt-get install funguloids

[Philip Muškovac (yofel)]

That's actually wrong, funguloids will install fine in maverick since ogre-plugins-cgrpogrammanager could finally be built with the new nvidia-cg-toolkit package.

$ rmadison ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager
ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager | 1.6.4-1.1 | maverick/multiverse | amd64, i386
ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager | 1.6.4-1.1 | natty/multiverse | amd64, i386

[Philip Muškovac (yofel)]

ogre-contrib wasn't changed, fix comes from nvidia-cg-toolkit bug 524740
