[cl-debian] Problems upgarding to cl-cffi_20070901-1
Hello people: I'm trying to upgrade cl-cffi to the new 20070901, but i can't, because cl-cffi_20070901-1 conflicts with cl-uffi, and i don't want to remove cl-uffi because i use cl-sql-postgresql which depends indirectly on it. Neither can i remove cl-cffi because that removes cl-hunchentoot. I know that my option is stay with the current cl-cffi(20061013-1), but i wonder if this situation is right or something is wrong with the packages dependencies, or if maybe i can do something to resolve this situation with the dependencies. I'm using: Debian Sid (x86) cl-cffi 20061013-1 cl-uffi 1.6.0-1 cl-sql-postgresql 4.0.1-1 Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

You're right -- I see the cl-cffi conflicts with cl-uffi. But, I don't see why it needs to. As far as I'm aware, cffi should be able to be used along with uffi in an installation. Kevin

Shouldn't either the packages not conflict, or cl-cffi Provide cl-uffi and maybe Replace it? Dependently, Pierre -- nowhere.man@levallois.eu.org OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A

I don't think it should conflict or provide cl-uffi. cffi contains uffi-compat.asd, but that is a separate named ASDF system which does not interfere with using uffi. -- Kevin Rosenberg kevin@hypershots.com

Recent versions have a uffi.asd file: $ sudo dpkg -i --force-all cl-cffi_20070901-1_all.deb dpkg: regarding cl-cffi_20070901-1_all.deb containing cl-cffi: cl-cffi conflicts with cl-uffi cl-uffi (version 1.6.0-1) is installed. dpkg: warning - ignoring conflict, may proceed anyway !

So people can use both UFFI and CFFI on a system, perhaps a separate binary package, such as cl-cffi-uffi can be made available which will provide uffi.asd. BTW, I recall when CFFI upstream considered this. They decided it was best not to make cffi-uffi-compat.asd actually named uffi.asd since, well, there's already a well-used package named uffi.asd already. So, they don't call their clone uffi.asd. It's similar to CLSQL and CommonSQL. While CLSQL is a clone of CommonSQL, it doesn't use the same package names some that people can use CLSQL and CommonSQL at the same time in a Lisp image. Kevin
