Missing dependency: text

Question

On Ubuntu 16.04 I am following the instructions from this post to modify twidge program from the ubuntu sources. When invoking the instruction to create a deb file (dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b), I get this error message.

setup: At least the following dependencies are missing:
text >=0.11.2.0 && <0.12

I have been unable to solve this problem using search engines, and wonder if anybody might know what I have to do.

Which package are you trying to build? On which Ubuntu version? — N0rbert, Jan 29 '18 at 17:30

Seems to be dependency/compilation bug of twidge. I can't compile even after installation of all Haskell -dev packages. So even with

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get build-dep twidge
sudo apt-get install libghc-*-dev # not really necessary, just for sure

I can't compile it with

apt-get source twidge --compile

So I reported bug 1746069 to launchpad.

If you selected this package for learning purposes you can start with different and simpler one.

Thanks for the help. However, I have already done this, which is why I'm extra confused about why there is a dependency problem. – JJammyy3 Jan 29 '18 at 18:01
I get the same error while compiling original package apt-get source twidge --compile. I'll update my answer on any success. – N0rbert Jan 29 '18 at 18:07
It does not compile. I reported bug 1746069 to launchpad. – N0rbert Jan 29 '18 at 18:36
