Package: sbuild Version: 0.73.0-4 User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: rebootstrap Control: affects -1 + src:lp-solve
sbuild splits the implicit (build-essential) and explicit Build-Depends into two dummy packages and installs them separately. In theory, that can cause the latter to remove the former, but I haven't observed this. When installing the latter fails, sbuild launches dose by default to explain the problem. While doing so, it tends to produce installation sets that lack build-essential as the former package is not passed to dose. This issue can currently be triggered by cross building lp-solve. I argue that the dose3 explainer should ensure that build-essential is kept. Helmut
