[SOLVED] building Cinnamon (sid)

[zerozero]

sorry about the forum, it has its days and today is not one of those

and I'm a very experienced Linux user

good, we like it

as for the problem, here is my history.log http://pastebin.com/1uRngbgs
bare in mind that this was a vanilla install, so a lot of basic pkgs were missing;
it starts with me removing cinnamon and libmuffin-dev from mock's build because they were broken and ends installing the gtop libs for the cpu monitor and net speed applets.
tl:dr libecal1.2-dev should satisfy the deps

[dcihon]

Looks like everything was fine except for libmuffin-dev

And afterwards Cinnamon 1.3.1 failed to install. I should note that I have 1.3.0 installed, so I can't see an incremental increase in version numbers creating so much havoc. <shrug>

[marathon]

Damn just hit myself with a clue stick -- that libcal-dev binary is for Wheezy! I should have used testing as it's a newer version. I'll be back to report failure or success.

[marathon]

Nah no dice: Still can't fathom a .01 incremental release causing so much difference. Should probably be a .1 release!

It's even worse with apt-get as opposed to aptitude from terminal here's what it spews out;


The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cinnamon : Depends: libecal1.2-10 (>= 3.2.2) but it is not installable
Depends: libedataserver1.2-15 (>= 3.2.2) but it is not installable
Depends: libgjs0c (>= 1.29.18) but it is not installable
Depends: libpulse-mainloop-glib0 (>= 1:0.99.1) but 1.0-4 is installed
Depends: libpulse0 (>= 1:0.99.1) but 1.0-4 is installed

This is if I *enable* Sid repository. So it doesn't seem to matter whether one is using Wheezy or Sid.

marathon,
with this, you should be good to go (but anyway first force the libcairo2-dev from testing )

Yeah I'm not using any Mint repositories just Debian. Sticking to a vanilla Debian install -- just wanted the .01 release.

[mockturtl]

Well I'm sorry to refute you but they aren't, and I'm a very experienced Linux user. An unsatisfied dependency when attempting to install Cinnamon 1.3.1 on vanilla Debian Wheezy is libecal1.2-10 (>= 3.2.2) which isn't available in any official Debian repository as of last night.

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libecal
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libecal

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cinnamon : Depends: libecal1.2-10 (>= 3.2.2) but it is not installable

Notice the absence of a hyphen -- that's an ubuntu package.

My debs will not have any ubuntu dependencies.

@zero
I had to add the testing repo to get the testing version in the dropdown.
It says it is version 1.10.2-6.2 (testing). Is that correct?

When I click on it to install I get this message:

libcairo2-dev:
Depends: libpng12-dev but it is not going to be installed

Just so you know everything I did.
I did an apt-get upgrade -f install and forced it to install a bunch of packages.
I went to install the .deb packages and they said they were already installed. Including the 1.3.1 cinnamon.

I think I am good but I am not sure.
How do I know 1.3.1 is installed?

How do I know 1.3.1 is installed?

Type this in a terminal:

Code: Select all

cinnamon --version

and it should return something like this
