Hi, I have a question regarding pbuilder.
My Debian package uses ${shlibs:Depends} in its Depends field.
However, in a pbuilder environment not all dependencies are installed,
and hence ${shlibs:Depends} does not expand to *all* real dependencies.
*Build* dependancies are not automatically guessed, you need to provide
explicit Build-Depends so that pbuilder installs them.
{shlibs:Depends} is to be used to produce dependancies for binary packages.
My question is: how do I add the missing dependencies?
a) Put them in Build-Depends so dpkg-shlibdeps can find them? (ugly)
b) Drop ${shlibs:Depends} and list them manually?
c) Something else?

(Can't find any bug number for that) The first problem is that the translator tells me that the headings - NAME, SYNOPSIS, AUTHOR etc - which are generated by xmlto/xsltproc, didn't get translated. How can it be made to output localised versions? The XML file needs to contain book lang=en with en can be replaced by the two-letter ISO code for the language. Then docbook tools will use their internal translation from /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/common/es.xml (in the case of spanish). Using po4a is recommended, as it uses translators work (gettext po files can then be used to translate this XML files, translations statistics/status, possibility to send translation calls...). http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/ po4a is good documented, #po4a does exist, you can ask debian-i18n@ as well. Then the man pages are installed by using automake's man_MANS target. automake doesn't seem to have any documentation about how to handle localised man pages though. Are both these issues solvable without installing large localisation packages for each target language? Ie will it be easy to build the package, including all translations, on mine and any user's PC, or would it be better to ask the translator(s) to provide all generated files as well as sources and package them separately? Definitely, you should not use the generated files, but the source file (either XML if this is the format used by the translator, or po file and a build-dep on po4a in the better case). In any case you will need build-deps again xml tools that enable the build of manpages. You cannot reasonably ask to translators to keep a translation up to date from a groff code.
