maverick ubuntu packages not working on launchpad

[danstowell]

Hi - trying to build fluxus for maverick using launchpad, we're getting failures like this:

Checking for source dependency conflicts...

So although libunicap-dev and libunicap2-dev both exist in maverick - see e.g. http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libunicap-dev - launchpad seems unable to resolve it properly. Are you able to fix this, or does the error lie with canonical?

This is not a bug in Ubuntu. There is no 'libunicap-dev' package in maverick, only libunicap2-dev which provides it - so the resolving is being done correctly.
