apt-get package does not work with CMake find_package on Ubuntu

[itavero]

I'm trying to create a new Docker image for our CI environment.
Rather than compiling CppUTest every time in our pipeline, I want to add a precompiled version of it.

Our Docker image is based on ubuntu:jammy which has an apt-get package available for CppUTest.
Unfortunately it seems that there's something wrong with the CMake modules it provides for find_package support, as it provides the following error during the CMake configuration phase:

#6 40.21 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 11.2.0
#6 40.23 -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info
#6 40.32 -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done
#6 40.33 -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ - skipped
#6 40.33 -- Detecting CXX compile features
#6 40.34 -- Detecting CXX compile features - done
#6 40.34 -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
#6 40.34 See also "/tmp/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
#6 40.35 CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/CppUTest/cmake/CppUTestConfig.cmake:11 (message):
#6 40.35   File or directory /usr/lib/include referenced by variable
#6 40.35   CppUTest_INCLUDE_DIRS does not exist !
#6 40.35 Call Stack (most recent call first):
#6 40.35   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/CppUTest/cmake/CppUTestConfig.cmake:27 (set_and_check)
#6 40.35   CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package)

In order to reproduce it, you can grab the Dockerfile and CMakeLists.txt from this Gist and run docker build -t cpputest . in the same directory.

Did a test where I build my own CppUTest deb package using CPack.
This package does seem to work, so I guess it has something to do with how the package is created.

I recommend submitting an issue against the Ubuntu package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cpputest/+bugs.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've also created a bug report on Launchpad

@basvodde are we involved in packaging for Ubuntu at all? If not, can we close this?

[basvodde]

Let me try to check this today or this week. I'll need to check this as I remember somewhat had changed.

I think this is the same as #1563 that I opened a while back.
