Source: pillow Version: 5.0.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I get: root@:~# apt-get build-dep pillow Reading package lists... Done Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: builddeps:pillow : Depends: python-olefile but it is not installable Depends: python3-olefile but it is not installable Depends: libraqm-dev but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. However: root@:~# apt-get check && echo ok Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done ok After manually installing Build-Depends packages, except for the three unmet dependencies reported by builddeps above, and additionally installing python- sphinx and python-sphinx-rtd-theme (Build-Depends-Indep mentions the python3 versions of those sphinx packages), then, the command debuild -d -b -uc -us succeeded. So, removing python-olefile, python3-olefile, and libraqm-dev from Build- Depends may suffice.
