Build Debian bin pkg from Ubunt scr pkg

Hallo!

I am trying to build a Debian Lenny package from the Ubuntu
package sources provided by Torsten Bronger.

I am a Debian packaging neophyte but after some struggling I
managed to get something named refdb_<..>.deb.  The only issue
that I encountered was that I had to use the "libltdl3-dev"
instead of the "libltdl7-dev" as proposed in the "Build-Depends:"
clause, because the "libltdl7-dev" is not available in the Debian
Lenny distribution.

Still the build process worked out fine (although I got a lot of warnings c=
oncerning pointers, data types etc.)

After I had manually satisfied the package requirements according to the "D=
epends:" clause, I issued a "dpkg -i refdb_<..>.deb".  Alas the installatio=
n process terminated with an error:

...
invoke-rc.d: initscript refdb, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing refdb (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
...

This made me include a "set -x" in the "/etc/init.d/refdb" file to get a tr=
ace.  The output of the trace was as follows:


+ start_server
+ '[' '!' -d /var/run/refdb ']'
+ '[' -z refdb ']'
+ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid --c=
huid refdb --exec /usr/sbin/refdbd -- -L /var/log/refdb/refdbd.log -P /var/=
run/refdb/refdbd.pid
+ errcode=3D0
+ return 0

+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ running
+ '[' '!' -f /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid ']'
++ cat /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid
+ pid=3D21573
+ running_pid 21573 /usr/sbin/refdbd
+ pid=3D21573
+ name=3D/usr/sbin/refdbd
+ '[' -z 21573 ']'
+ '[' '!' -d /proc/21573 ']'
+ return 1


Obviously the refdb server started but terminated prematurely, so I looked =
into the "/var/log/refdb/refdbd.log" and found the following message:

6:pid=3D21573:Thu Sep 24 17:41:19 2009:Available libdbi database drivers:
6:pid=3D21573:Thu Sep 24 17:41:19 2009:sqlite
3:pid=3D21573:Thu Sep 24 17:41:19 2009:Requested libdbi driver is not prese=
nt

I looked for available packages with "libdbi" in their name and got the fol=
lowing listing:

Which of these packages is missing from my installation?

Kind regards

Stefan

PS: Although required the "autoconf" package is not mentioned in the "Build=
-Depends:". clause.  Explicitly listing may only be necessary in a Debian c=
ontext, because this package may be automatically installed by other packag=
es in the Ubuntu case - I don't know, but you (Torsten) may want to check t=
his.
