The problem is that nlist.h is provided too by libelf*-dev, so libbsd-dev has had to Replace those, which is actually wrong, as then the file will disappear in the following sequence: apt-get install libbsd-dev libelf-dev apt-get remove libbsd-dev After this, packages Build-Depending on libelf-dev will no longer be able to find nlist.h. For the next libbsd upstream release I've actually moved all those headers under /usr/include/bsd/, so this will have to be fixed anyway. libkvm-dev could instead Build-Depend on libelf-dev/libelfg0-dev, but given that it's linking against libbsd anyway, it seems like a gratuituous build and runtime dependency. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
