Hello,

While updating the package 'debian-package-book-*"

https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/dpb

I strumple about the following problem.

When I build in pbuilder I get the message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libtext-csv-xs-perl : Depends: libencode-perl (>= 3.20) but it is not going to
be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Install the following packages:
1)     libencode-perl [3.21-1+b1 (unstable)]

But it isn't installable. so the build failed

If I use a hook an install this package manually it works.

It also works If I build with sbuild.

Kind regards

Mechtilde

I've seen this a couple of times in the last weeks (not with biber
but some other random packages) when I tried to build with
cowbuilder.

My workaround was to change

PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends"
(/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends is a symlink to
pbuilder-satisfydepends-aptitude)

to

PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-apt"

in my pbuilderrc.

I never looked why the aptitude resolver fails but the apt resolver
works.
In any case I'm sure this is not a problem in the biber package; I
also don't think it's a problem in libencode-perl or any of the
packages depending on it.

I don't know - maybe a bug in pbuilder/cowbuilder?

Which confirms my hunch that the problem is not with biber and not
with libencode-perl.

Cheers,
gregor
