[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#785163: darktable: package dependency on libjs-scriptaculous:amd64 prevents installation

[Norman Ramsey]

Source: darktable
Version: darktable:amd64 1.4.2-1+b3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

     I asked aptitude to install darktable:amd64 on a newly upgraded
     jessie multiarch system.  Dpkg reports as follows:

         : nr at homedog 10074 ; dpkg --print-architecture
         i386
         : nr at homedog 10075 ; dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
         amd64

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?

         Marking the package with the plus sign resulted in an error
         messages that two dependencies of darktable:amd64 are not
         satisfied.  They are

             libjs-prototype:amd64
             libjs-scriptaculous:amd64

         These packages, without the :amd64 suffix, are installed on
         my system, and dpkg -s reports

              Architecture: all

         I suspect that something may be wrong with the dependencies.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

         I expected the darktable:amd64 package to be installed.


Two other points:

  - I know that in order to run the darkable binary, I will need to be
    running a 64-bit kernel.

  - As you may know, darktable does not work very well when it is
    limited to 4GB of main memory, and upstream recommends to run the
    64-bit version.   I have had installed the 32-bit version and can
    confirm there are significant usability problems.  Thus, the
    inability to install the 64-bit version has a major effect on
    usability.
