Missing dependencies

[Salgar]

Binary package hint: libsvn-web-perl

libsvn-web-perl should also depend on libtimedate-perl and libtemplate-plugin-number-format. The last one does not exist yet. It should contain http://search.cpan.org/dist/Template-Plugin-Number-Format/Format.pm and depend on libnumber-format-perl and libtemplate-perl.

Error messages from svnweb-server:

Workaround: Install the dependencies by hand and create and install a .deb-file with dh-make-perl.
aptitude install libtimedate-perl libnumber-format-perl dh-make-perl
mkdir /tmp/deb/
cd /tmp/deb/
dh-make-perl --build --cpan Template::Plugin::Number::Format
dpkg -i libtemplate-plugin-number-format-perl_1.02-1_all.deb

[Costel Rascanu (jakeres)]

for ubuntu 8 (hardy) the "libtemplate-plugin-number-format" is not present in Synaptic repositories.

If so:
1. go to http://svnbuildstat.debian.net/packages/info/libtemplate-plugin-number-format-perl and download tarball
2. extract the files (eg. in folder "~/temp/Template-Plugin-Number-Format-1.02/"
3. copy "Format.pm" -> "/usr/share/perl5/Template/Plugin/Number/Format.pm" (make sure you are root)

done. svnweb-server should work fine now.

I had trouble doing it manually as Costel suggested. I had to fiddle around and eventually ran (without removing the manually installed .pm):

sudo apt-get install libtimedate-perl libnumber-format-perl
sudo cpan
>force install Template::Plugin::Number::Format
>force install Number::Format

Hard for me to say what did the trick. A apt packaging fix would be great here.

libtemplate-plugin-number-format has been in universe since lucid. Current versions of the libsvn-web-perl package depend on both libtimedate-perl and libtemplate-plugin-number-format.

Closing this bug as no longer relevant.
