You would think that would be the case

the “bug” is still present in the newest Lucid incarnation. Version 10.04.1 , a maintaence release is just out and “gorm.app” still missing in the apt repos, thus leading to unresolved dependencies in the meta package gnustep-devel.

I can not understand why such a simple to solve bug is not fixed. Isnt Lucid a LTS release, targeting corporations ? Not good P/R.

I fear they only test all the gnome dependencies and dont care about “exotic” packages.

You can actually skip the hassle and just install the package gnustep-core-devel instead. This won’t install the GNUStep IDE or anything but it will allow you to compile objective-c programs with gcc.

Finally, I found this:
in /etc/apt/sources.list – add urls like:

deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/ squeeze main
deb-src http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/ squeeze main

Do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t gnustep install gorm.app
sudo apt-get install gnustep-devel

work like a charm

Just head over to Debian’s packages website here http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gorm.app&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all and grab the one you want. I went with squeeze (testing) and it worked great.

How did you do that?

I recalled reading somewhere that Ubuntu synchronizes with Debian testing (A.K.A. squeeze) at the start of every round of development, so I figured that would be the best package to grab.

Thanks for your reply
