The ser-0.8.10 sources contain a debian

debian packages. However the control file in this directory lists
incomplete and improper build dependancies for the package.
Currently the dependancies are listed as:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0), libmysqlclient-dev, libexpat1-dev,
fakeroot
While they should be:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0), libmysqlclient-dev, libexpat1-dev,
zlib1g-dev
Sorry i do not see any build dependecy on zlib. The mysql module needs
the zlib lib. But that dependecy is fullfiled through
libmysqlclient-dev, which depends on libmysqlclient, which depends on
zlib1g.
libmysqlclient-dev is not an available package in Debian stable:
# apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package libmysqlclient-dev is a virtual package provided by:
libmysqlclient10-dev 3.23.49-8.2
The dependancy for zlib1g will be fulfilled by the installation of
libmysqlclient10-dev since it will then depend on libmysqlclient10 which
in turn will depend on zlib1g. Note, this is only the runtime library,
not the development headers and such. This will *not* allow one to
build the Debian package of the ser source. To build the Debian package
of the ser, you must have the development libraries of the used runtime
libraries. This is the purpose of the Build-Depends entry. To list
which packages are necessary for compilation, and zlib1g-dev *is* needed
for compilation.
BTW Serdev is a better place for such notes or
discussion.
The web site (
http://www.iptel.org/ser/bugs/) says to post it here, so I
did.
