Newer lilypond can't be built from sources "the Ubuntu way"

Asked by Emmanuel Charpentier

Binary package hint: lilypond

Running Hardy, following -security, -updates, -proposed and -backports.

I'm trying to build lilypond 2.11.50 to test new features (2.10.33 looks *antique* to lilypond-users mailing list readers, who seem reluctant to chase bugs on an antiquated version).

I was used to the Debian system (debian/rules build ; fakeroot debian/rules binary ). Not very familiar with the Ubuntu tools, I'm following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/PackageUpdate literally (and a bit asininely).

Dependencies : I had a bit of picnic installing python2.5-dev : the current -updates python2.5 package is a bit newer that the regular one, but there is not (yet !) a corresponding -dev package in -updates. I had to manually dpkg -i the intrepid package, which happens to be the same version level than -updates python2.5. Minor boboo...

All goes well up to the pbuilder stage, which reveals pseudo-unsatisfied build dependences on virtual packages. The full log is at the end of this mail ; the crucial part seems to be :

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy: Depends: guile-1.8-dev which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: mftrace (>= 1.1.19) which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: emacs-intl-fonts which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: xfonts-intl-arabic which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: xfonts-intl-asian which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: xfonts-intl-chinese which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: xfonts-intl-chinese-big which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: xfonts-intl-european which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: xfonts-intl-japanese which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: xfonts-intl-japanese-big which is a virtual package.
                                 Depends: xfonts-intl-phonetic which is a virtual package.

Of course, all these packages *are* installed :

charpent@yod:~/Developpements/lilypond$ sudo apt-get build-dep -s lilypond
[sudo] password for charpent:
Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
Construction de l'arbre des dépendances
Lecture des informations d'état... Fait
0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 0 à enlever et 0 non mis à jour.

The problem might be with pbuilder, which seems to have problems accepting virtual packages.

Should I :
   - replace dependencies on virtual packages by dependencies on the real ones in debian/rules ?
   - try to build "the Debian way" ?
   - file a bug against pbuilder ?
   - run in circles, scream and shout ?
   - pout ?

I have to admit that I have trouble understanding the "pbuilder way" and the necessity of such a huge chroot jail to build a package ... (140 MB for the "base" pbuilder archive (compressed !) alone ...).

Here is the pbuilder execution output :

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs .

Thanks for this question.

In order to allow us to try to help you with this problem, please provide more information about your pbuilder configuration files and your pbuilder commandline arguments.

Building the 'debian way' will work, you don't have to use pbuilder.
Debian and Ubuntu packages are the same, use the same tools to be built, etc...

It happens cuz it's a package which is virtual for packages that are in universe. You have to enable universe repositories. Do this:

sudo pbuilder update --components "main restricted universe multiverse" --override-config

And it will work.

Can you help with this problem?
