While I agree that ghostscript seems to be needed (even if I wonder why this does not happen on my system) I think the Build-Depends should be solved not by explicitely mentioning this package but rather adding a Depends to debiandoc-sgml. The rationale behind this is that you otherwise might add the Build-Depends to all packages which are using debiandoc-sgml which makes no sense. So before I blindly apply your patch (thanks for it anyway) I would like to hear your opinion about solving the problem at the reason instead of just curing the symptom. > diff -Nru blends-0.6.10/debian/control blends-0.6.10/debian/control > --- blends-0.6.10/debian/control 2010-01-18 23:04:41.000000000 +0100 > +++ blends-0.6.10/debian/control 2010-02-14 12:33:11.000000000 +0100 > @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ > José L.
