Why? The point is: you (= upstream) already checks for >= 1.12.1. So you already have pkg-config as a given, so you don't need to check for cppunit-config as an alternative at all. > And I do not believe into Debian-only patches. Depending on when the fixed jags will be released and when all the other packages will be fixed you will need one. LibreOffice 5.4 does NEED >= 1.14 and I want to avoid using the internal copy if possible. That's the only reason why I am after this :-) Doing such things before upstream does and keeping your package building is one of your duties of a package maintainer. But as said, yeah, getting it fixed upstream is preferrable. Regards, Rene
