Hugo, I see you fixed http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13195 by adding adns and portaudio dependencies. In the meanwhile, this package has become a dependency also.

Please remove adns and portaudio dependencies (these are community packages!) and build this package in a clean chroot instead of your own system. Adding random dependencies which happened to be on your system at build time is not the way to fix bugs like these. Also, run namcap before uploading next time.

Hi Jan,

I am building in a clean chroot env. And i always run namcap. I dont know what caused this.

Anyway,

I will move adns and portaudio to extra, since wireshark depends on it. I will add libsamplerate to the depends array.

Are these hard dependencies, or just because they happened to be installed somewhere? Remember that linking by accident to these packages does not mean they're dependencies. If they're not needed, leave them in community and be sure to not compile them in.

They are needed on x86_64. On my i686 install they were not needed. Wireshark runs fine.

I do not have a x86_64 machine (someone built wireshark for that arch), but every x86_64 user that i know was complaining about these dependencies.

The fact that someone else linked it in with an unclean chroot doesn't mean they're needed on that architecture. It means that the packager that uploaded it needs to change his build/development process.

About adns and portaudio:
- portaudio is required for RTSP playback
- adns is required for asynchronous nameresolving, which is very useful when real-time name resolving is turned on

These dependencies are useful and are enabled by default when available. The wireshark win32 builds include at least portaudio, don't know about ADNS.

I think the libsamplerate dependency is coming from a bad portaudio package, on x86_64 there's no single reference to libsamplerate in the wireshark binary.

I am building wireshark again now. I can confirm that portaudio and adns are not required on a i686 install. Can you try to compile and run wireshark without them on a x86_64 install?

I will check this libsamplerate problem too.

Wireshark runs fine without libsamplerate on my i686 box.

Jan, can you confirm this works on x86_64?

Hi

I really thank you for being that responsive with requests ! It is an interesting thread :)
I'll try to help on saturday.

Bye

Hugo: I've also assigned this bug to Giovanni. He's the one who builds x86_64 packages for i686-only devs lately.

Thanks, Eric.

Giovanni,

Can you build wireshark for x86_64 in a clean chroot and check if adns, portaudio and libsamplerate are needed?

Wireshark does *not* need them on a i686 install.

Wireshark runs fine without libsamplerate on my x86-64 box.
What should I do?

Giovanni,

Please, try to build wireshark in a clean chroot:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot

This way you can check the correct dependencies. I dont think wireshark x86_64 needs adns, portaudio and libsamplerate.

Let me know if you need help with something.

I rebuilt wireshark for x86_64 in a clean chroot.
I can confirm wireshark does not need adns, portaudio and libsamplerate on a x86-64 install.

I just rebuilt wireshark. Now there is a wireshark 1.0.6-3 without adns, portaudio and libsamplerate. It is working fine on a i686 box.

Giovanni,

Can you, please, build wireshark 1.0.6-3 for x86_64 on a clean chroot? So we can close this.

Done!
