Apparently `apt-get` in potato doesn't support the build-dep command; you can build apt from testing and install it first, then you should be able to use build-dep from then on. -- Harry Henry Gebel West Dover Hundred, Delaware GPG encrypted email gladly accepted.

Cool. When did this feature get into apt-get? Debian's the closest thing to compiling heaven. I better start reading the man page again.

> apt-get build-dep hotplug I think that the build-dep command is supported by apt-get on potato. You may have to look at the *.dsc file and manually install the build-depends. -B -- Brandon High [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I can't die yet! I don't own enough things!" - Bender

Use the command apt-get build-dep hotplug to fulfill hotplugs's build dependencies. Sometimes this will give you an error that it can't find one (or more) of the packages needed to fill the build dependancies; if this is the case build them from source first (using `apt-get build-dep` and `fakeroot apt-get -b source`). -- Harry Henry Gebel West Dover Hundred, Delaware GPG encrypted email gladly accepted.

I can't seem to figure out what the build-depends are. I tried doing "apt-cache show hotplug", but it can't find it because I only have deb-src pointing to testing. (The rest is pointing to stable and Adrian Bunk's stuff). How do I use apt-cache to find out about source packages? And I still have further questions: When testing becomes stable later will it automatically upgrade to that version of hotplug over my compiled version when I do an "apt-get dist-upgrade"? Also, where does it put the source package and the compiled stuff if I do it this way? And how would I remove it later if I need to do this? Would "apt-get remove hotplug" work for that? Sorry that I can't work this out from the man pages. Thanks for help. Mark.

Getting package from "testing" for potato
OK, I still don't understand how to do this properly. I am running a 2.4.3 kernel on potato using Adrian Bunk's extra packages for 2.4.x kernels. Lets say I need the package hotplug (which allows me to setup my usb cdrw). Now do I do the following to get this: 1. Change my sources.list to contain this: deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian testing main contrib non-free 2. Type: apt-get update apt-get source --build hotplug Is this how to do it? Thanks. Mark.
