This is what I got trying to build "ActionCube"

Do "apt-get update" first? [y/N] y

Building Dependency Tree...
Selecting libSDL-devel for 'libSDL1.2-devel'
Package libSDL_image1.2-devel has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
However the following packages replace it:
  libSDL_image-devel
E: Package libSDL_image1.2-devel has no installation candidate

Then when I try to "Build All" I get this:

error: Failed build dependencies:

You're Packaging?  Way Kool!  No clue.

As if I am doing it yet. Nice. LOL

Isn't belnet one of the mirrors that have stopped syncing? Try another.

This happens no matter what repo I use.

libSDL_image-devel

In the spec file change libSDL_image1.2-devel to libSDL_image-devel and try it again.

libSDL_image-devel

In the spec file change libSDL_image1.2-devel to libSDL_image-devel and try it again.

No luck. Man! I feel so close to figuring this out. I am going back to bed.

[Joble]

What did the output from install dependencies say this time?

[Rudge]

I will do it from scratch hang on. should I change all the 1.2's or just the one for libSDL_image1.2 ?

[Joble]

Just the one from libSDL, unless more dependencies don't load, then search for them in synaptic and change the name to match the synaptic name.  Maybe yes, try removing all the 1.2s from the libSDL entries.

[Rudge]

OK, that points me in the right direction thanks. I will let you know.

Man I appreciate the help a bunch!

Rudge,
Here's a tip for you -->

When installing dependencies returns an error, search in Synaptic for the package or packages. If the name ends in a number (as in libSDL1.2), you can search without the number (libSDL). This will show you if the number has been changed or is not attached to the name. The version number will be listed and can be checked against your dependencies list.
If you need to search for a dependency and your search returns empty, switch from "Description and Name" to "Provided Packages" in the search box. This will show you if the needed dep is included in another package, and you can adjust your deps list accordingly.

I hope this helps.

 

[Rudge]

This is a TON of help. thanks !!

[Joble]

Progress?

When I do a search in synaptic for the dependencies in the error file, I find them just as they are named, exact matches.  

All I can figure is that for some reason my "Build All" routine is looking for the dependencies in some place other than where synaptic is looking.

The install dependency's step seems to work.  

Edit: I went through each one and found discrepancies - fixed them all - got me one step closer so thanks.
Now I am getting a "bad exit status" that I need to search for.
