The actual build-depends line is this:
Build-Depends: libadns1-dev (>= 1.2), nettle-dev, libcdb-dev | tinycdb
(<= 0.75), tcl8.4-dev | tcl8.3-dev | tcl8.2-dev | tcl-dev, debhelper (>= 5)
(It's a shame that Tcl no longer provides a `tcl-dev' virtual package.)
Anyway, I'm a bit puzzled. I uploaded a new version of this package
in November 2014 and it built fine. tcl8.4-dev seemed to be available
then. I deliberately did not update it to build-depend on 8.5 because
I wanted to avoid perturbing what was in testing by potentially
introducing depedencies on 8.5-specific aspects of the Tcl ABI.
But according to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737104
tcl8.4-dev was removed in January 2014. How did I and the buildds
manage to build chiark-tcl 1.1.2 using tcl8.4-dev in November ?
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=chiark-tcl
I guess, unless the explanation for this conundrum contains a reason
not to do so, that I will have to update it to build-depend on 8.5.
Thanks,
Ian.
