How can a binary package build-depend on something? Their source obviously depends on libjpeg-dev, otherwise the produced -dev package would not depend on libjpeg-dev, too. > The issue is not that libqt3-mt-dev and libtiff4-dev are Build-Depending > on libjpeg-dev, but that they are _Depending_ on it.

If they provide the same api, then different numbers in the package don't make sense at all. If the api breaks bad enough to introduce a new number, then providing libjpeg-dev doesn't make sense. Something is broken in your way of packaging this library. -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprints: 06C8 C9A2 EAAD E37E 5B2C BE93 067A AD04 C93B FF79 ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
