Sure, but buildds don't do that automatically. > Anyway, I think this issue should be solved by now, but I don't have a hurd > machine to test this, could you please recheck if this issue is still > affecting hurd? It is still a problem: # apt-get build-dep akonadi ... builddeps:akonadi : Depends: kdesignerplugin (>= 5.16.0~) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kio-dev (>= 5.16.0~) but it is not going to be installed ... # apt-get install kio-dev libkf5kio-dev kio libkf5notifications5 libkf5notifications5 : Depends: phonon4qt5 but it is not going to be installed # apt-get install kio-dev libkf5kio-dev kio libkf5notifications5 phonon4qt5 ... The following NEW packages will be installed: ... phonon-backend-gstreamer-common phonon4qt5 phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer so apt manages to pick up the gstreamer version. But that's not what the buildd resolver does: it always picks the first alternative, so as to get deterministic behavior. For those KDE applications, I do add the dep by hand to get things built, but that's not how it is to be done. Samuel
