I'm reassigning to dpkg-dev. dpkg-checkbuilddeps supports Provides correctly, the problem here is that it does not support versioned Provides (as is the case for the whole package managment stack). So I suppose sbuild should fail sooner, and all those perl packages should be fixed to update their Build-Dependencies (given that perl-modules is Build-Essential, just removing the offending packages which are provided by it should be enough). regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
