FTBFS when tcl8.4 is installed

The FTBFS happens because "/usr/share/man/man3/gv_tcl.3" is missing. There is this package called "libgv-tcl" which contains "/usr/share/man/man3/gv_tcl.3.gz" which is almost the same filename.

It sounds to me that A) libgv-tcl should be added as a build-dep for libgraphviz4, and B) the filename reference should be changed to account for the fact that this man page is nowadays gzipped?

Martin, the linked branch contains a fix. If you like to, you could try building from it. I'll upload a fixed package to my PPA later today.

Hmm, I did "bzr branch lp:~simono/ubuntu/karmic/graphviz/fixes-bug-414057" and then "debuild -b -us -uc" and then I got this error:

Also I can't install "tclsh8.5" it seems?

mnemo@kingfish:~/src/fixes-bug-414057$ sudo apt-get install tclsh

Package tclsh is a virtual package provided by:
  tcl8.3 8.3.5-14
  tcl8.5 8.5.7-1
  tcl8.4 8.4.19-3
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package tclsh has no installation candidate

Seems like I already have tcl8.5 package installed though:

mnemo@kingfish:~/src/fixes-bug-414057$ dpkg -l | g tcl
ii libgv-tcl 2.20.2-3ubuntu5 Tcl bindings for graphviz
ii tcl 8.4.16-2 The Tool Command Language (default version)
ii tcl8.4 8.4.19-3 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8.4 - run-t
ii tcl8.5 8.5.7-1 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8.5 - run-t
ii tcl8.5-dev 8.5.7-1 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8.5 - devel
mnemo@kingfish:~/src/fixes-bug-414057$

mnemo@kingfish:~/src/fixes-bug-414057$ dpkg -L tcl8.5 | g tclsh
/usr/share/man/man1/tclsh8.5.1.gz
/usr/bin/tclsh8.5

tcl8.5 is the package which contains tclsh8.5.

To build the package do the following:
sudo apt-get build-dep graphviz
sudo aptitude install bzr-builddeb
bzr branch lp:~simono/ubuntu/karmic/graphviz/fixes-bug-414057
cd fixes-bug-414057
bzr-buildpackage -e
cd ../build-area/graphviz-2.20.2
debuild -us -uc -b

That worked, it built all the DEBs now. Thanks for taking some time to look into this.

The package is now available in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~simono/+archive/ppa
It built fine.

Here is the diff between 2.20.2-3ubuntu5 and 2.20.2-3ubuntu6:

We're already at
graphviz (2.20.2-8ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * No-change rebuild for OCaml 3.11.2 transition (LP: #522363).

... and it builds fine. Is there anything still required?

Daniel, this was fixed in Debian in 2.20.2-4. Which has already been merged.
