I want to compile from source pygame : package (python-pygame),
strangely, to identify prerequisite packages I am seeing different sets of necessary packages
across different commands.
Shouldn't these two command show the same list of needed packages ?
This command :
apt-get build-dep -s python-pygame
lists :
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libmikmod2 libmikmod2-dev libportmidi-dev libportmidi0 libpython2.6 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev libsmpeg0 python-all python-all-dev python2.6 python2.6-dev python2.6-minimal sharutils
yet using Update Manager GUI, it lists these packages as "additional required changes" :
libmikmod2
libportmidi0
libsdl-mixer1.2
libsmpeg0
which matches the same set of needed packages as listed using :
sudo apt-get install python-pygame
Why is build-dep seemingly misleading ?
here is my
python --version
Python 2.7.2+
I seriously doubt the build-dep output should mention python2.6
Somewhat of a rhetorical question as I usually compile first/ask questions later
but in the interest of possibly fixing build-dep ...
