Fair enough, libcurl-dev wasn't installed, but the problem persists on installation of libcurl-ssl-dev (but 'debuild -d' helps). So either: * gkrellm-newsticker should Build-Depend on libcurl-dev | libcurl-ssl-dev (versioning as already given in its debian/control file), or * libcurl2-ssl should provide libcurl2; libcurl-ssl-dev should provide libcurl-dev; and an appropriate bug report should be filed. Checking other packages (in unstable)... These Build-Depend on either: tclcurl 0.9.2-1 php4 4.1.1-1 libcurl-easy-perl 1.1.8-1 came 1.2-1 These don't: logjam 3.0.1-2 It looks as if both logjam and gkrellm-newsticker have it wrong, *but* I think that it'd be easier to use the Provides option. (For some reason, packages.d.o doesn't seem to want to return 'came' in the package search results...) -- | Darren Salt | linux (or ds) at | nr.
