ibus-avro is not working in ubuntu 12.10

  • 772

I was using ibus-avro with ibus input method to write Bengali in Ubuntu 12.04. Recently I have upgraded Ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10, now ibus-avro was removed. I have tried to install it again but was getting error message as follows 

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have  
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable  
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created  
or been moved out of Incoming.  
The following information may help to resolve the situation:  

The following packages have unmet dependencies:  
ibus-avro : Depends: gir1.2-gjsdbus-1.0 but it is not installable
ibus

    Finally I am able to install it. I have compiled it from the source without installing gir1.2-gjsdbus-1.0 and till now it is working perfectly.
    First install the bellow mention packages using the code.

    sudo apt-get install git ibus libibus-1.0-dev automake autoconf gjs gir1.2-ibus-1.0

    Now install the following code to download, compile and install the ibus-avro

    git clone git://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro.git
    cd ibus-avro
    aclocal && autoconf && automake --add-missing
    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    sudo make install

    I have found this instruction from in this link
    https://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro/blob/master/README.md

    You may notice that I have omitted the package "gir1.2-gjsdbus-1.0" which is told by Sarim in the comment of an issue, you can check it in the following link

    Thanks
