Re: build-depends on a _source_ package ?
Thank you Christian for your clear explanation. I think i only need the headers files, but i will check this before to file a bug to the qtcreator package, so.

build-depends on a _source_ package ?
Hello dear mentors, This must be a frequently asked question over the years, sorry: I built recently a binary package of a specific plugin for qtcreator, on Debian Stretch, but this requires the source (package) of qtcreator in order to build. As Debian Stretch has no qtcreator-dev, i had to apt-get source qtcreator. I don't know how to automate build dependency to a _source_ package, since the -dev does not (or seems not to) exist, at least in Stretch. Is there a solution ? Should i file a bug on WNPP to ask for a qtcreator-dev package in order to have qtcreator source installed in /usr/src ?
