Description (Last modified by douglas)

After a fresh build of Debian packages after [3339], Synaptic is still refusing to install them. Here is the message from apt-get:

Depends on libicu36 but it is not going to be installed.

I checked the etc/debian/control file, and there the option is written like this: 

Build-Depends: 
     libicu34-dev | libicu36-dev | libicu-dev (>=3.4),

then a little further down it is: 

Package: campcaster-station
Architecture: any
Depends: 
      libicu34 | libicu36 | libicu38,

and further it is: 

Package: campcaster-studio
Architecture: any
Depends: 
      libicu34 | libicu36 | libicu38,

I’m pretty sure the problem is with the line requiring libicu34-dev or libicu36-dev, as libicu36-dev has libicu36 as one of its dependencies. I would suggest requiring the libicu-dev package and not specifying a version number.

It may also be useful to note that I built the packages using Gutsy, but tried to install them on Hardy. The Campcaster Station package was the one that returns the error.

Found what goes wrong, we did the builds on a Gutsy system and putted these ones in the Hardy repository. So installing these one depends on libicu36, that’s what not available in Hardy.
