gutsy wammu dependency problem

[Rene Paap]

Binary package hint: wammu

while installing wammu, the python-gammu version needed is >= 0.21 but the only version I can get from the repo's is 0.20-1

 rene@rene-lt:~$ sudo apt-get install wammu

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  wammu: Depends: python-gammu (>= 0.21) but it is not going to be installed

Needs python-gammu 0.22-2 synced from Debian.

[Claudiu Vlad (claudiu-vlad)]

also libgammu and libgammu-common and more...

[Tomer Chachamu (r3m0t)]

Please, bring back the old version or bring forward the new version!

Needs testing of Debian version, also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#head-1d28045481b8803d4815989e93edc4206f4848c4 and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess

It would be really nice if wammu would be installable on the release date of gutsy ;-)

This dep problem is a real mess. Maybe someone could tweak the actual wammu package not to require those deps ;)

No, the only thing that makes sense is following the steps I outlined in comment 4.

Note that the Debian maintainer is the upstream author. I'm quite convinced he didn't set the dependency for the fun of it.

Actually I've provided DEBs at Ubuntuforums, at this URL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3490594

For those with no Ubuntuforums account, I'll post them here as well.
