yelp package

cannot install yelp-dbgsym in Hardy Heron x64

Asked by marco.pallotta

Binary package hint: yelp

After the last yelp update ( 2.22.1-0ubuntu2.8.04.2 amd64) I cannot install yelp-dbgsym as the only version available from repos is 2.22.1-0ubuntu2.8.04.1) and " apt-get install yelp-dbgsym=2.22.1-0ubuntu2.8.04.1" says (unfortunally my system has italian language):

"
Lettura della lista dei pacchetti in corso... Fatto
Generazione dell'albero delle dipendenze in corso
Lettura delle informazioni di stato... Fatto
Alcuni pacchetti non possono essere installati. Questo può voler
dire che è stata richiesta una situazione impossibile oppure, se
si sta usando la distribuzione "unstable", che alcuni pacchetti
richiesti non sono ancora stati creati o rimossi da incoming.

Poiché è stata richiesta solo una singola operazione è molto facile che
il pacchetto semplicemente non sia installabile, si consiglia
di inviare un "bug report" per tale pacchetto.
Le seguenti informazioni possono aiutare a risolvere la situazione:

I seguenti pacchetti hanno dipendenze non soddisfatte:
  yelp-dbgsym: Dipende: yelp (= 2.22.1-0ubuntu2.8.04.1) ma 2.22.1-0ubuntu2.8.04.2 sta per essere installato
E: Pacchetto non integro"

That is we have an inconsistency between the version of yelp and dbgsym.

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 .

You probably enabled the hardy-proposed source but not the corresponding ddeb one

In my /etc/apt/sources.list I enabled these repos:

deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy main universe
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy-updates main universe
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed main universe
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy-security main universe

as we can read in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash

As yelp 2.22.1-0ubuntu2.8.04.2 is in hardy-security, can please check if you have the normal hardy-security repository enabled?

Ah, I should have read your description more carefully. I see now what the problem is.
For some reason I don't know yet, there are no ddebs for package coming from -security. I'll try to find out why it is so and report back.

Can you help with this problem?
