Nightly build broken - Error during update of libomcsimulation

[Andrea Bartolini]

Updating the nightly build today I got the following error:

Preparing to unpack .../17-openmodelica_1.18.0~dev-65-g9ac6586-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking openmodelica (1.18.0~dev-65-g9ac6586-1) over (1.18.0~dev-49-gc5c5e43-1) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

and, after that, trying to start OMEdit I got the following error:

~$ OMEdit
OMEdit: error while loading shared libraries: libsuitesparseconfig.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sysop: ubuntu 18.04

any news?

Could be related to ​https://github.com/OpenModelica/OpenModelicaBuildScripts/pull/7 and probably related to https://trac.openmodelica.org/OpenModelica/ticket/6375.

It should have said E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. or similar somewhere. Calling apt install -f should fix the problem.

But this is just a workaround, not the proper fix, right?

[Martin Sjölund]

No, it's the proper fix. The problem is we had one version of the library in the wrong package.

Then fixing it causes the install of the new package to fail because it's installed in another package.

Simply rerunning apt install fixes it. The working version is already staged for install.

tried with -f flag and it fixes the broken dependences...
I suppose this fixes definitly the issue...
