Build Issue of OpenCC Go binding on Ubuntu Linux 16.10
[Update]: This issue has been fixed by package maintainer now.
When I upgrade Ubuntu Linux from 16.04 to 16.10, the OpenCC version jump from 0.4.3 to 1.0.4. It is ok to install OpenCC:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ apt-cache search opencc
libopencc-dbg - simplified-traditional chinese conversion library - debug
libopencc-dev - simplified-traditional Chinese conversion library - development
libopencc2 - simplified-traditional Chinese conversion library - runtime
libopencc2-data - simplified-traditional Chinese conversion library - data files
opencc - simplified-traditional Chinese conversion tool
$ sudo apt-get install opencc
Then I tried to install libopencc-dev to compile OpenCC Go binding/wrapper [2], I got the following error message:
$ sudo apt-get install libopencc-dev
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libopencc-dev : Depends: libopencc2 (= 1.0.4-1ubuntu0.16.10.1) but it is not going to be installed
After some googling, I manually download and install libopencc-dev:
$ wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libopencc-dev_1.0.4-1ubuntu0.16.10.1_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libopencc-dev_1.0.4-1ubuntu0.16.10.1_amd64.deb
And finally I successfully compile the OpenCC Go binding/wrapper:
$ go get -u github.com/stevenyao/go-opencc
But after you finish to use the OpenCC Go binding/wrapper, remove libopencc-dev manually:
$ sudo dpkg -r libopencc-dev
If you keep libopencc-dev, you cannot use apt-get to update and upgrade your system.
Tested on: Ubuntu Linux 16.10, Go 1.7.4, opencc 1.0.4-1ubuntu0.16.10.1.
