According to policy: expect (>= 5.38.0) [!hppa, !hurd-i386] is: expect (>= 5.38.0) [!hppa !hurd-i386] Which instructs that the required dependencies are 'expect' package and '!hurd-i386]' (whatever that is). I have been told[1] that lintian already does the necessary checks, and I don't think pbuilder really needs to go and check the syntactical correctness above what it currently does. quote: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/he/lintian-test$ grep -A1 Build-Depends test/debian/control Build-Depends: package > 4.0, something [hurd, i386], other, \ this [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/he/lintian-test$ dpkg-source -b test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/he/lintian-test$ lintian *dsc E: test source: multiline-field build-depends E: test source: bad-relation build-depends: package > 4.0 E: test source: bad-relation build-depends: something [hurd [1] http://gonzo.dicp.de/~he/blog/archives/13-lintian-does-check-for-incorrect-build-depends-fields.html regards, junichi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
