You are right, I've checked. I'm following your Guide on a virtual server rented from a VPS-provider. Strangely enough, they install ubuntu with "APT::Get::Install-Recommends "false";" in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00InstallRecomends ... I'll ask them why they do that.
I've checked it on my desktop system and the required packages will be included on installing "packaging-dev" Sorry about the false bug-report... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Packaging Guide Team, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Packaging Guide. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239086 Title: refference to pbuilder-dist but it's not in the packaging-dev package Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide: Incomplete Bug description: Unther the headline "Getting Set Up", there is a paragraphe "Install basic packaging software". In that paragraphe it is said that the packaging-dev will install all the nesscessery packages and more. A few lines further, there is a reference to the tool "pbuilder-dist" but this tool is not installed. The pbuilder-dist tool is found in the package ubuntu-dev-tools. Alsow the packages bzr-builddeb and apt-file are not covered in packaging- dev. Maybe it's a good idea to change the line: $ sudo apt-get install packaging-dev to: $ sudo apt-get install packaging-dev bzr-builddeb apt-file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-packaging-guide/+bug/1239086/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-packaging-guide-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-packaging-guide-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
