podbrowser depends on Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer 0.16, but 0.14 in Gutsy

I guess this also means that dependencies are defined wrongly in the packaging.

libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl 0.17 uploaded on REVU: http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=5797
podviewer uploaded on REVU: http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=5796

Thanks for your work on this. Could you please attach the diff of the debian directories to this bug, to aid reviewing? Either interdiff of the diff.gz files, or diff -urN of the unpacked debian/ directories would be welcome. I've unsubscribed ubuntu-universe-sponsors pending this additional information.

Hello, here is a diff between the debian/ dirs of libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl 0.14 and 0.17 (upgraded package)

And here is a debdiff for podbrowser_0.10-0ubuntu2.

Thanks Emmet.

Thanks for these. Both look really clean. Please avoid using REVU where a debdiff is sufficient. When using REVU for new upstream versions, please include a comment pointing to the bug. Before the new ibgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl is uploaded, would you mind checking to see if gscan2pdf also needs an update? Separately, podbrowser seems to have already been updated: does it need another refresh, or is it good now?

I am the author of gscan2pdf. I've just tested podviewer 0.17 (used by
gscan2pdf for displaying the help page) and everything seems fine.

I'me sorry Emmet but as I've just changed my mail address so I can't put comments on REVU for now. I've upgraded gscan2pdf, thanks a lot Jeff for your feedback ;-)

About podbrowser: the package is already good, but I'd rather specify the version of libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl in the Depends, do you want me to do the same thing for gscan2pdf ?

Here is a diff of gscan2pdf debian directories.

Thank you for your time, have a nice day.

Arthur.

Fixed upstream (see upstream comment below).

All uploaded. Thanks for the investigation and solution.

But the same is true of the other (Feisty, Edgy, etc.) builds of podviewer.

*DISCLAIMER* I am a bit of a newbie at packaging - just packaging my
own app for the last 9 months. But:

I downloaded libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl_0.17-0ubuntu1.dsc
libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl_0.17.orig.tar.gz and
libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl_0.17-0ubuntu1.diff.gz from Launchpad, then:

$ dpkg-source -x libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl_0.17-0ubuntu1.dsc
$ cd libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl-0.17/
$ debuild

Now running lintian...
E: libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl_0.17-0ubuntu1_i386.changes:

W: libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl source: out-of-date-standards-version
3.6.2 (current is 3.7.2)

[snip]

That is a minor point. But the resulting package installed fine. I
then downloaded the new podbrowser_0.10-0ubuntu2_all.deb from
launchpad and installed it. The dependencies are still incomplete. I
get:

$ podbrowser

I can't find this packaged anywhere for Debian.

I've just filed bug 137908 asking for gscan2pdf 0.9.16-1, now in
Debian, to be synced.
