The chroots are up-to-date, but it could still be a problem as I ran into this with Debian unstable where I had libgnutls11 locally, but libgnutls13 in the pbuilder. Since 13 is not an upgrade but a different tree it wasn't updated and a locally built package would depend on 11 while a package built with pbuilder would depend on libgnutls13. Anyway, I think it's a chroot problem on my side. I should delete and rebuild all my chroots or go through all scribus dependencies, direct and indirect, and upgrade them one by one to alleviate this problem. Or I should completely switch to pbuilder. Alex.
