I don't have access to the chroot right now, but I'll try to provide that later. However, all builds are done using the same clean chroot as a basis (and that chroot includes neither libxml-sax-perl nor libxml-libxml-perl. When building, there's no difference between a failed and a successful build regarding packages installed (confirmed by diffing the logs). During dependancy resolution, both libxml-sax-perl and libxml-libxml-perl are installed. Maybe the build process chooses underterministically one or the other ? Anyway, you can look at the build logs at http://ox.blop.info/bazaar/buildlogs/20061122/ . Failed builds are .3, .8 and .9. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
