Description
The Debian stable packages are built against libgcc1 4.0, but sarge has 3.4, so the xapian packages cannot be installed on sarge.

Just a note to say this problem still exists in 0.9.3. Perhaps you shouldn't advertise packages for sarge until such time as it is fixed? At the moment it's just a time waster.

Erm, there aren't any debian packages for 0.9.3 yet...

But you're right that this needs fixing. Richard - Do you have a plan for how to address this?
comment:5 by , 19 years ago
Yes - I have a plan, and will be implementing it over the next couple of days. I've just installed a machine with a fresh copy of Debian stable, and will be using that to build the source packages (both for stable and unstable), and the binary packages for i386 stable.
binary packages for i386 unstable are trickier - I'll be installing pbuilder-userv and configuring. I may have to ask for help on the mailing list with this, but I'll see how I go.

I seem to have successfully installed pbuilder and figured out how to build packages for sarge with it, so I'm stealing this bug!

I've built packages of Xapian+Omega+bindings in a sarge chroot using pbuilder. They're now on xapian.org, but I don't have an actual stable debian box to test that they install using apt, etc.
Reuben: Can you check if everything works now?

Richard builds the debian packages, so reassigning to him...
