[Bug 1327753] Re: FTBFS: hwloc-contrib 1.9-1 build-depends on unavailable package libxnvctrl-dev

[Erich E. Hoover]

Wow, thanks Alberto - that would be great!  We (wine-staging) would like
to link to libXNVCtrl and having it be a dynamic library removes the
ambiguity about what we're supposed to do license-wise (and it
dramatically simplifies our configure check!).

Title:
  FTBFS: hwloc-contrib 1.9-1 build-depends on unavailable package
  libxnvctrl-dev

Status in hwloc-contrib package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in nvidia-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hwloc-contrib 1.9-1 currently fails to build because it depends on
  libxnvctrl-dev which is not available.

  Package libxnvctrl-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
  This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
  is only available from another source
  However the following packages replace it:
    nvidia-settings

  E: Package 'libxnvctrl-dev' has no installation candidate
  apt-get failed.

  For more details, see

  In Debian, libxnvctrl-dev is part of the nvidia-settings package
  (http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-settings.html). However, this
  is not synced since Ubuntu has its own nvidia-settings package
  (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings), though that
  does not offer the binary package which hwloc-contrib needs.
