That are the simple cases. But many packages don't want to run auto*, don't Build-Depend on them and their invocation fails but gets ignored. The package then build fine. Outside the chroot, where you probably have auto* installed the invocation suddenly works and you get a different generated file that might or might not fail. Is that clearer? He was asking for things that work inside but fail outside. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
