Error on Package gtksourceview3 (apt-file: readProcessWithExitCode) #25

Closed creichert closed 9 years ago

creichert commented 9 years ago

When trying to use the command cabal-debian --official and cabal-debian on the gtksourceview3-0.13.1.1, an error is thrown:

$ cabal-debian --official
cabal-debian: apt-file: readProcessWithExitCode: runInteractiveProcess: exec: does not exist (No such file or directory)

I haven't yet had time to investigate so any advice would be helpful.

The debianization of cabal-debian has a dependency on the apt-file package. If you install that this problem will probably go away. I'm not sure how to express this dependency in the cabal file, something I should look into.

It would be sufficient to catch the error and give a proper error message. @creichert, do you feel like patching that? Might be a good start to get used to the codebase.

Fixed in #26
