Great!!!! :-P This is pretty clearly the wrong fix. xaw3dg-dev now only Depends: xaw3dg (= 1.5+E-12), xutils. Even ignoring the issue of static linking (it is customary for -dev packages to depend on *all* other -dev packages they need symbols from for static linking), of the 78 header files provided by xaw3dg-dev, 69 of them need headers from at least one other X -dev package. That makes it a policy violation, because xaw3dg-dev does not depend on packages that it "requires for operation". FWIW, based on just the headers, the only missing dependencies are: Depends: libxt-dev, x11proto-core-dev, libxmu-dev Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
