Now I see what that means :-| dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libghc6-Chart-dev libghc6-bytestring-lexing-dev libghc6-data-accessor-template-dev libghc6-strptime-dev >> >> @Eugene: A manpage (if not present already) would be very welcome, as >> Debian’s policy dictates one for every installed binary. >> >> Greetings, >> Joachim >> >> -- >> Joachim "nomeata" Breitner >> Debian Developer >> [email protected] | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C >> JID: [email protected] | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata >> > > > > -- > Eugene Kirpichov > Senior Software Engineer, > Grid Dynamics http://www.griddynamics.com/ > -- Eugene Kirpichov Senior Software Engineer, Grid Dynamics http://www.griddynamics.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
