gnuradio doesn't build on armhf due to unneeded dependencies

[Saikrishna Arcot]

[Impact]

The gnuradio package currently has a build dependency on libqwtplot3d-qt4-dev (which is not available for armhf). However, the package doesn't use anything from libqwtplot3d-qt4-dev. Taking that dependency out at least allows gnuradio to build (and most likely succeed).

[Test Case]

Attempt to install gnuradio, or anything that depends on a gnuradio library (such as gqrx-sdr) on an armhf system, and notice it's not available.

[Regression Potential]

In the event that qwtplot3d is indeed indirectly referenced somewhere, then a feature will be missing. However, running "apt-cache rdepends libqwtplot3d-qt4-0" yields only five packages (three of which are directly related with qwtplot3d or qwt3d), none of which are the gnuradio libraries.

I just pushed a fix to Wily. I can also do stable release updates. Let's just make sure all's safe on Wily first.

[Saikrishna Arcot (saiarcot895)]

Thanks Logan! I was thinking I would have to wait for Debian to fix it there, sync it to Ubuntu, and then do the SRU's.

[David Aitcheson - KB3EFS (kb3efs)]

Logan,

Check with Iain R Learmonth <email address hidden> and on Debian Hams; he and/or
others may have a fix in progress as well that might conflict with yours.

I don't follow things close enough to know who is on first or what is on
second...

Forwarding to the person responsible for gnuradio in Debian. gnuradio is not
a Debian Hamradio Maintainers team package afaict. Maybe it should be?

Thanks,
Iain.

In my opinion it should be, but I am only one voice of many.

gnuradio is now properly building on armhf in Wily. There shouldn't be any conflicts in terms of a stable release update, so I'll start working on that tonight.
