Build-Depends-Indep resolving issues in precise

Asked by Jeroen Ooms

I am backporting some of the new "julia" packages from raring to quantal and precise. See here for the full repository: https://launchpad.net/~opencpu/+archive/julia/+packages

Everything seemed to be OK on Quantal, but in Precise, both the 386 and 64 build failed, with very different problems though. The build logs are available on the link above. In 64, the build fails with:

sphinx-build -b latex -d _build/doctrees . _build/latex
make[2]: sphinx-build: Command not found
make[2]: *** [latexpdf] Error 127

The 386 build fails with:

! I can't find file `ecrm1000'.
<*> ...ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ecrm1000
Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.

This smells like a missing dependency, but they all seem to be there. The same package builds fine in Quantal. Could this have something to do with sphinx-python being declared in `Build-Depends-Indep target`? Or do I need to backport/upgrade any other dependencies in the repository?

Build-Depends-Indep is only installed on i386, where the architecture-independent packages are built; that's the purpose of the separate field. You'll need to debug the other build issues locally using something like pbuilder (see <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto>).

Can you help with this problem?
