The packages *to install* need to be available from your standard apt sources but the debian/control file information comes directly from the same file as dpkg-buildpackage will use, so the source package you are trying to build does not need to appear in your apt sources cache. embuilddeps is designed for (old-style) cross-building dependency resolution but the first step is to do native build-deps so that the tools are available and it is this stage you need. Just omit the -a option. There is a simulate / dry-run option as well to check what it is about to do. $ dpkg -S embuilddeps xapt: /usr/sbin/embuilddeps apt-get install xapt -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
