reassign 481924 ftp.debian.org tags 481924 - pending thanks (I would have liked to CC buildd admins on this mail, but have not done so as it seems there is no single address for that. CC'ing all [EMAIL PROTECTED] seems inappropriate. If someone knows a mail address for them, feel free to bounce or forward.)

After some more thought it seems more logical to maintain which packages should be installed on a buildd in one location, so I've reverted the change to debootstrap. Current build-essential overrides file is: merkel:/org/ftp.debian.org/scripts/external-overrides$ cat build-essential apt Build-Essential yes binutils Build-Essential yes cpio Build-Essential yes cpp Build-Essential yes dpkg-dev Build-Essential yes g++ Build-Essential yes gcc Build-Essential yes libc0.3-dev Build-Essential yes libc6-dev Build-Essential yes libc6.1-dev Build-Essential yes linux-kernel-headers Build-Essential yes make Build-Essential yes patch Build-Essential yes perl Build-Essential yes perl-modules Build-Essential yes There seems to be some overlap between this list and the build-essential package, which has: Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:4.1.1), g++ (>= 4:4.1.1), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) My suggestion is that ftp-masters add build-essential to that overrides file and clean up the overlap. If there is a good reason not to do so, feel free to reassign the BR back to debootstrap. Cheers, FJP
