Description

I installed librstconverters0.9 debian package on my laptop, but running rsb-examples results in

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Failed to load plugin `rsbrstconvertersrci' as requested via configuration: Failed to load plugin `rsbrstconvertersrci' from shared object `/usr/lib/rsb0.9/plugins/librsbrstconvertersrci.so.0.9': librsc.so.0.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

So the good news is, rsbrstconvertersrci seems to be included in this package (as this was a question of mine I discussed with Jan and Johannes) but the package seems to be broken concerning the naming conventions: there actually is no librsc.so.0.9 in my system, but I found:

librsc0.9.so      librsc0.9.so.0.9  librsc.so         librsc.so.0.7

History

I'm not entirely familiar with this particular packaging issue, but my guess is that the librstconverters0.9 Debian package is not built anymore and therefore depends on an old Robotics Systems Commons version (see modification times in http://packages.cor-lab.de/ubuntu/pool/main/libr/librstconverters0.9/).

As I understand it, only the -humavips and -amarsi variants of the Debian package are currently built and packaged automatically (see http://packages.cor-lab.de/ubuntu/pool/main/libr/).

@Sebastian, Michael: maybe we should delete the outdated packages from the server to avoid this problem in the future?

#4 Updated by S. Wrede over 10 years ago

Yes, we should remove it. Let's wait for Arne before making a final decision here.

I don't remember using the package librstconverters0.9, I always used the amarsi converters package AFAIR. It also seems outdated to me (version 0.9.0 is quite old), so I agree, that this should be delisted from our package server.

I think this package was based on the idea to have some kind of default converter package, without the humavips / amarsi specifics in it. This could still be a reasonable use case, but would not include rci then, I guess.

Using reprepro, I found the following packages to be deleted from our package server:

lucid|main|i386: librstconverters0.9 0.9.0-b7-lucid
lucid|main|amd64: librstconverters0.9 0.9.0-b7-lucid
precise|main|i386: librstconverters0.9 0.9.0-b7-precise
precise|main|amd64: librstconverters0.9 0.9.0-b7-precise
quantal|main|i386: librstconverters0.9 0.9.0-b7-quantal
quantal|main|amd64: librstconverters0.9 0.9.0-b7-quantal

I will delete these soon.
