At this point my guess is that the BackTrack5 repositories aren't
releasing the auto* utilities as they haven't passed their 'bullet
proof' suite yet. I'm build the suite from source and running 'make
check' on each to validate it's integrity. 

I can't wait for the apt-get of the Gambas dependencies to see what is
being 'held back'. I know the qt4 may have to be a manual install. I
remember something about a 'hold back' when doing my last apt-get
update/upgrade. 

I'm curious, was the Raspberry Pi Gambas3 binary distribution built with
a cross compiler (on Intel/AMD Linux) or native under Ubuntu ARM on the
Pi?
