An example will be useful, I hope. I want to backport the latest version of audacity, an audio editor. First, I run: # apt-get build-dep audacity Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Build-Depends dependency on audacity cannot be satisfied because the package cdbs cannot be found So, it seems backporting cdbs is also needed, let's check its build dependencies: $ apt-cache showsrc cdbs | grep Depends Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>= 4.1.0), realpath, fakeroot, python-dev, springgraph, ocaml-native-compilers | ocaml So, for building, whether it depends on springgraph, or I don't understand at all what this "Build-Depends-Indep" means. Furthermore: $ apt-get source springgraph $ cd springgraph $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b $ cd .. $ dpkg --info springgraph_0.80.1-1_all.deb | grep Depends Depends: perl,libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl | libgd-gd2-perl So, I would need to packport one of these two libgd-gd2 packages: # apt-cache showsrc libgd-gd2-perl | grep Depends Build-Depends: cdbs, debhelper (>= 4), dh-buildinfo, perl (>= 5.6.0-16), libgd2-xpm-dev (>= 2.0.12), libjpeg62-dev, libpng12-dev, libz-dev, libfreetype6-dev, xlibs-dev You can see, cdbs, again, so I get stuck and can't find a way to get further. Any more feedback will be very useful.
