Description Marcin Lewandowski 2016-05-13 19:06:36 UTC 
I have created package using cerbero on ubuntu xenial using config/linux.config.

I have set up target distro to ubuntu trusty.

However, the dependencies of the created .deb contain libstdc++6 (>= 5.2) which are not possible to resolve on ubuntu trusty.

Seems that cerbero inherits some configuration regardless of selected target distro.
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-05-15 09:59:04 UTC 
Yes you have to build on the target distro. That's also required for things like glibc.

The only alternative would be to set up a chroot with the full target distro or a docker container or similar.
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-05-20 11:05:49 UTC 
So is this WONTFIX? Or should/can we detect this and error out somewhere in cerbero?
Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-05-21 06:41:42 UTC 
I consider it as WONTFIX, but Marcin might disagree.

FWIW, the same requirements are there for building Debian packages in Debian itself. They are all supposed to be built in a clean chroot before being uploaded to Debian.
Comment 4 Marcin Lewandowski 2016-05-21 06:44:51 UTC 
I agree, it me who changed to WONTFIX :)
