Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.35lenny7 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/build-rdeps Tags: patch
build-rdeps will only find Sources files if you use "unstable" in your sources.list and will fail to find any Sources files if you list "sid". i.e. this sources line will result in a message telling you to run apt-get update: deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ sid main where as this line will work fine: deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main Both lines are accepted by apt and other programs that deal with Sources files will handle either just fine. The attached patch allows for the use of either sid or unstable in the sources.list. cheers Stuart
