Hello, When downloading a source package from somewhere else, I often find myself in the situation that after..
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc [...] dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libreadline6-dev libncursesw5-dev (>= 5.3) libbz2-dev liblzma-dev libgdbm-dev libdb-dev tk8.5-dev blt-dev (>= 2.4z) libbluetooth-dev libffi-dev (>= 3.0.5) xvfb dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.) ...I have to manually/painfully construct the command line... $ sudo apt-get install libreadline6-dev libncursesw5-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev libgdbm-dev libdb-dev tk8.5-dev blt-dev libbluetooth-dev libffi-dev xvfb ...by copying every package name, but omitting the version numbers. Has someone already written a tool to automate this? I.e., parse debian/control and run the appropriate apt-get command? I think I am *not* looking for apt-get build-deps, because I'm talking about source packages not included in an apt repository.
