[SRU] fp-compiler doesn't know it depends on binutils

All packages uploaded to -proposed distributions.

Waiting for apporval.

Regards,

Pleaes do not approve hardy upload, it FTBFS.

Regards,

Angel, I have to reject the uploads to lucid,mvaerick, and natty -proposed. The changelog entry is missing a #, so the changes file does not have the Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed: header, which, if missing, will have a bit of a ripple effect on the process.

To be clear, the entry should say (LP: #790583) not (LP: 790583).

Hi Clint! Sorrt for the mistake. I will re-upload fixed packages as soon as possible.

Regards

Packages fixed and re-uploaded.

Regards,

Please get this fixed in oneiric, and also forward to Debian, so that this can progress into -updates.

Accepted fpc into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Accepted fpc into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Accepted fpc into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I tried all proposed packages (natty-proposed, maverick-proposed, lucid-proposed) and them install well and fix binutils dependency problem. Please promote to -upgrade.

Regrards,

Can't propose to -updates before this gets fixed in oneiric (even accepting it into -proposed is stretching the SRU policy).

Btw. debian got a bug report for this problem years ago
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=265265
and thought it was fixed, but it isn't.
I just checked that their problem is still there and opened a new bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630890

Hi Martin! Ok, Im waiting for this merge:

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fpc/+bug/798142

It solves the problem in Oneiric, event if it isnt fixed in 2 or 3 days I will upload merge.

Regards,

Hi Klaus, this problem is fixed in Debian unstable:

- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=265265

Regards,

The debian bug report 265265 says it was fixed seven years ago in fp-compiler_1.9.4-5.
I tested today in debian 6.0 with fp-compiler_2.4.0-2 and binutils was missing.
So either it takes more than seven years to get this into stable, or the same bug is back.

Hi Klaus, Sid package is fixed, you can see depends:
