There is nothing wrong *in principle* with build-depending on a virtual package. Lots of build-deps are virtual packages and this works fine. > Better yet, just build-depend on libsnmp9-dev. This appears to be the real problem -- a build-dependency on libsnmp-dev is satisfied by packages which apparently can't be used for building cheops, which makes this a wrong build-dependency in this case. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
