Hello Andreas,

thank you for the notification.

I tried to reproduce the failure you described. I could reproduce it
*once*:

- pbuilder login ==> creates a directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build/foo
- cp wims*_4.02-1_amd64.deb /var/cache/pbuilder/build/foo/tmp ==> copies
  of relevant packages
- cd /var/cache/pbuilder/build/foo/; dpkg -i tmp/*deb ==> fails to
  install due to missing dependencies. By the way, i noticed a strange
  quirk: the package adduser was missing.
- apt-get -f install ==> downloads dependencies, and installs them, then
  tries to install wims : then I could reproduce the failure you
  noticed!

However my pbuilder archive (for ARCH=amd64, DIST=sid) was not
refreshed. So I made another try:

- pbuilder update
- pbuilder login
- cd /var/cache/pbuilder/build/foo; apt-get install wims

And then the package wims was properly installed.
Running this sequence again gave the same result, of course.

----

So my opinion is that at some time the environment provided by Sid
missed some feature, which is missing no longer, now.

In my opinion, this bug report should closed, as the bug is not
reproducible. What is your idea about it?

Best regards,                   Georges.
