Bug Description

/usr/include/X11/Extensions/XInput.h, which is included in X11/Extensions/XTest.h, has moved:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=XInput.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=XInput.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=intrepid&arch=any

As a result, it seems that x11proto-xext-dev (or perhaps x11proto-input-dev) needs to have a Depend added for libxi-dev.

This manifested as a FTBFS with synergy which has a BuildDep on x11proto-xext-dev, but fails needing XInput.h.

I think it belongs to x11proto-input, since it was moved from there. Will upload a new version shortly.

hum, on a second thought I'm not sure if x11proto-input would be the real target.. maybe it would be best to fix all the packages which used to build-depend on x11proto-input-dev and check if they include XInput.h and if yes, change the build-dep to libxi-dev.

Synergy's Build-Depends:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), autotools-dev, docbook-to-man, libxt-dev, libxtst-dev, libxinerama-dev

This will FTBFS. To fix it, I had to add libxi-dev. I don't think this is right, since it isn't aware of any use of XInput, etc. This seems like a problem with XInput.h moving between binary pacakges without tracking it in the Depends tree for those packages.

This appears to have gotten cleaned up somewhere along the way.

This bug reappeared again and made xautomation FTBFS during a rebuild test:
  In file included from xte.c:24:
  /usr/include/X11/extensions/XTest.h:50:35: error: X11/extensions/XInput.h: No such file or directory
(full log at http://builder.ubuntuwire.com:9998/job/45334)

As X11/extensions/XTest.h includes XInput.h it should depend on the package providing it (libxi-dev).

The test rebuild of libvncserver failed also due to this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-autotest/2009-March/020878.html

After consulting #ubuntu-x I will add libxi-dev to Build-Depends for the affected packages.

Hi kees,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Heh, nevermind; this is a packaging bug so obviously we don't need that info.

(For future reference, set importance to Wishlist, and the New bug processing script will ignore it.)

XTest.h is now in libxtst-dev, and it depends on libxi-dev (which has XInput.h), so the bug can be closed.
