Question about triaging tulip's bug #230368

[Caroline Ford]

Tulip bug continued..

Go back to launchpad.

List all tulip bugs. Clicking 'Overview' gets you here:
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tulip
Clicking 3.1.2-2 gets you here
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/tulip/3.1.2-2

Looking at the right we can see that tulip failed to build from source
(FTBFS) in karmic in all architectures. Drat! We can't see if the
later version will fix our bug if it doesn't build!

Launchpad tells me this is the buildlog:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26998674/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-i386.tulip_3.1.2-2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

Open the buildlog. The interesting bit will be at the end but I
generally skim it anyway to see if anything else jumps out at me.

There was a complaint that it couldn't find a dependency and won't
make the pdf documentation. This may need fixing but isn't our bug.

The end of the buildlog says:

Eew. New bug I think. Why does it build in Debian but not Ubuntu?
Newer versions of dependencies? When I file this bug I will then look
at the versions of libraries in Ubuntu and Debian to see if it
identifies a possible problem..

We don't really 'fix' bugs in Ubuntu universe, we find fixes in other
places, test them and import them.

I hope this has helped. There are probably other approaches but I
always look for updated packages first.
