Ahh ok sorry miss understood what you wanted. I did run into another one where I installed the built mysql5 and mysql5-dev and it does not provide a mysql.h on the machine, also lots of .dev packages rely on libgcc-dev but there is not an installable version of libgcc-dev. So if you install a -dev after you have the image running you get complaints about no libgcc-dev on the machine. So if I run into things like that I would need to go to that package and figure out why and how to get the .h's I need in the .dev and or figure out how to make the missing -dev ?
