--- Begin Message ---Package: octave2.0-headers Version: 2.0.17-9 Severity: important The /usr/bin/mkoctfile command in this package explicitly refers {gcc,g77,g++}-2.95 but the package's control file is missing a Depends: for these compilers. As a result, mkoctfile does annoyingly not work inside a pbuilder chroot jail for sarge without manual intervention. I strongly suggest adding gcc-2.95, g++-2.95 and g77-2.95 to the Depends: line in debian/control to fix the problem.

This is only present in stable and oldstable: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ rmadison octave2.0-headers octave2.0-headers | 2.0.16.92-7 | oldstable | all octave2.0-headers | 2.0.17-9 | stable | all [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ As the term 'stable' aims to say, the software packages in the 'stable', and by extension of course also in the previous release 'oldstable') releases are not altered (unless, say, a security fix is needed). It's been a while, but I'd also think that the -2.95 toolchain was the default then, so a Depends: was not needed as it was implicit. Can you not get a 'build-essential' equivalent into the stable pbuilder chroot ? Current octave-*-headers packages appear to work. Not really an applicable bug, so I am closing this.
