Build fails for pyvel dependency (bump dependency version?) about spruned

[gdassori]

Hello,
the rationale behind using 0.9 instead of 1.0.x is backward compatibility.

According the plyvel readme:
The mimimum LevelDB version is now 1.20, which added an option for the maximum file size, which is now exposed in Plyvel. (pr #61)

But, googling around distros repos, I've found 1.20 is quite rare on non cutting-edge debian based distros. Personally, I also had trouble building spruned on different environments for this reason and, actually, spruned should work with 0.9.

Btw, googling about your error, I've found something else:
The file referenced (/usr/share/dpkg/no-pie-compile.specs) is in the libdpkg-perl package on Debian, so installing that package should solve the immediate problem.

And you can try, but I personally tend to disagree...
Would you please ensure you have python3-dev, gcc and all the system packages listed here:

Thanks for the explanation, makes sense.

I double checked and a definitely have all of those dependencies installed.

I tried deleting my venv and starting again with version 0.9.0 and now everything seems to install OK... so maybe I was just doing something wrong first time around...

I'm going to start again with a blank server install and see if everything works.

Thanks again for the help.

It seems like the plyvel wheels for ubuntu 18.04 python exist since Version 1.0.5:
