I don't think this will help the situation because I have a
kernel-headers-* package already installed and it still bombs out on
apt-get build-deps.  And I see that it breaks auto-building on the
sbuild, so I think you should probably leave it the way it was(IMHO).

Well, it didn't help that I wasn't depending on a real package to help
apt out.

xfree86 4.2.1-4 will B-D on "kernel-headers-2.4.19-386 |
kernel-headers-2.4 | hurd | freebsd | netbsd | openbsd".  This will of
course only help Linux/i386 people, but it's better than nothing.

You are correct, but apt-get build-dep doesn't know this.  I have since
been educated as to the source of this problem.  It is in fact a bug in

apt-get's output looks pretty suboptimal.

Check the xfree86 source package's build dependencies by hand.

I think you'll find that they can, in fact, all be satisfied on a Linux
box.

I've got plans for the ones filed against xserver-xfree86.

You are correct, but apt-get build-dep doesn't know this.  I have since
been educated as to the source of this problem.  It is in fact a bug in
apt-get build-dep that doesn't handle OR's very well.  Bugs  98640

apt-get's output looks pretty suboptimal.

Check the xfree86 source package's build dependencies by hand.

I think you'll find that they can, in fact, all be satisfied on a Linux
box.

apt-build and xfree86

2002-10-21 Thread Scott Henson
Im currently trying to rebuild some stuff on my system using apt-build
and its not going very well.  In particular:


apt-build --reinstall --rebuild install xserver-xfree86
-> Installing build dependencies (for xserver-xfree86) <-

Im thinking some dependency has been added on the Hurd and since Im
using the linux kernel it cant satisfy the hurd deps.  

xserver-xfree86:

P.S. 
I was looking through some of the bug reports for xfree86 and noticed a
