Actually, sbuild uses plain apt-get and apt-cache to handle build deps these days; so if apt can handle a dependency, then so can sbuild. The problem really is the fact that experimental has 'NoAuto: yes' (or what is it again) set in its Release file, so unless you explicitly specify that you want to download and install from experimental, that's not going to happen. It _would_ theoretically be possible to automagically build stuff against versions of libraries in experimental by specifying '-t experimental' on the apt-get command line; however, as this would unwantedly pull in packages from experimental if one is available there (even if the build-deps allow building against versions from unstable), this is not currently done. -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
