Amarok build-dep failure
 

Hi Modestas,

Since your name was in the Maintainer field for Amarok, I though of asking
you.

Currently, I don't see amarok having all its build dependencies satisfied.

rrs@learner:~$ apt-get build-dep amarok
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Build-dependencies for amarok could not be satisfied.

Is this a bug ?

This isn't the fault of amarok - it simply means that the list of build dependencies cannot be installed on your system due to conflicts or pinned packages or problems with other dependencies. Your best bet is to try to install each of the build dependencies manually using the list in debian/control.

It might be a wishlist/minor bug in apt to request a clearer error message but I don't see that it is a bug in amarok.

No, pbuilder/cowbuilder is able to satisfy build dependencies. I think it's
rather that build dependences cannot be satisfied _in your environment_. You
do have bits of KDE4 installed, don't you? You can run:

# apt-cache showsrc amarok | grep Build-Depends | sed -e 's/[(]
[^)]+[)]//g' -e 's/,//g' | awk -F: '{print $2}' | xargs apt-get install

to see what's wrong.
