I had this "bug" when I was trying to update libbonobouimm. The bug was that the version 1.3.6 need libbonobomm 1.3.7 but in the configure step it said that I have the 1.3.5 version. It gives an error like:
| Code: | | configure: error: Library requirements (... |
That was anoying, because I had the correct version, but even when I did:
| Code: | | pkg-config --modversion libbonobomm-2.0 |
it still said that I have the 1.3.5.
Ok, I had that version, before install libbonobouimm i update it to 1.3.7. What I did to solve this was to go to /usr/lib/pkgconfig and then i saw that there was two files "libbonobomm-2.0.pc" and "libbonobomm-2.0-uninstalled.pc". I check it and saw that the fist said that the version was 1.3.7 and the second said that the version was 1.3.5. So I delete the file "libbonobomm-2.0-uninstalled.pc" and all works ok.
I had seen a lot of messages in the forum with a similar problem and almost all fix it reinstalling the package with conflicts, but it didn't work for me.
I hope that this help someone, and I wonder why to keep the uninstalled file? what is the purpose?, and is it safe to delete it? |
