[SOLVED] Dependencies of libfluidsynth-dev on libsystemd-dev and libsystemd0

Hi all,

Devuan Daedalus (performing great - so far, on a new-ish laptop, no major driver problems)

I'm trying to install a the libsdl2-mixer-dev package. It depends on libfluidsynth-dev, which depends on libsystemd-dev and in turn on libsystemd0, and this unfortunately collides with libelogind-compat. Letting aptitude "resolve" this leads nowhere, it tries to get rid of most of the system (or refuses to install).
I think that the dependency of libfluidsynth-dev should rather be libelogind-compat-something?

Any ideas? I realize that this is testing, and things may not work (long term Debian user). Shall I open a bug report?

Cheers,
gunpowdertea

Looks like systemd was added to the mix by the 2.2.7 upgrade.

Here's the relevant debian/rules line: https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-tea … n/rules#L6

So just add the -Denable-dbus=off Meson option to the main dh_configure command and remove the ifneq block; debian/control will also need to be de-systemd'd before rebuilding the new package. Remember the version bump.

@Head_on_a_Stick
Thanks - that did the trick. Took me a moment to get back into that. (building and running widelands seems to work).

Shall I file a bug report for this? I guess  others may stumble over that as well...

I would say yes. But the Debian package maintainer is under no obligation to add support for non-systemd boxen.

Hm, but this was the Devuan package I tried to install - yeah, I know it is based on Debian. So I thought a bug report vs. the Devuan package.

I think the package should be fixed in Debian. I myself use Debian with runit as PID1 instead of systemd so I would very much like bugs such as these to be fixed there.

Got closed by the maintainer - not his problem I'm not using Debian...

In case anyone else runs into this:

1. Get the source: apt-get source libfluidsynth-dev
2. Edit debian/control to remove dependencies of libsystemd-dev
3. Install missing build dependencies. apt-get build-dep will fail due to the dependency of libsystemd-dev. You'll probably need at least the package ladspa-sdk.
4. Increase the package version: dch -i
5. Build the package: dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -B -rfakeroot

Ok, sorry for the long silence - life interfered, the bug report in Devuan got resolved.

And thanks @hagbard_, I should have written exactly that. Which I didn't. Which is unhelpful.
