Bug Description
I've updated to the 'edgy' repositories, but I'm assured that this happens in dapper too:
(dapper) chris@chrislap:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep superkaramba
[...]
Package libsnmp5-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
The following NEW packages will be installed:
gettext-kde [...] x11proto-record-dev
0 upgraded, 57 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
E: Package libsnmp5-dev has no installation candidate
E: Failed to process build dependencies
(dapper) chris@chrislap:~$
The package exists in breezy, but not dapper. Perhaps we need "libsnmp9-dev" instead?
The package does not exist in Dapper and Edgy, but is in Feisty (where the problem has been fixed). As it is quite unlikely that a package will be introduced in an already-released version, I'm afraid I'll have to reject your bug. If you really think should be in Dapper/Edgy, you might want to request a backport, but I'm not sure what the policy in such cases is. Thanks for reporting this.
