Note that the "minimal" build-dep set isn't the same as the full build-dep set; if one build-dep directly or indirectly depends on another direct build-dep, you could drop that direct build-dep, and pbuilder would still compile. But the suggestion is to list the full build-deps, not the minimal set. To find the full build-deps (which will be a superset of the "minimal" build-deps) the following tools from devscripts are suggested: - dpkg-depcheck, dpkg-genbuilddeps: determine the packages used during the build of a Debian package; useful for determining the Build-Depends control field needed [build-essential, strace] Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
