Are you sure your /etc/apt/sources.list is okay or you don't have some other problem with libpaper-dev on your system? I'll test to see whether psutils builds okay on sarge. I have another bug related to libpaper which I'm planning on resolving tomorrow or over the weekend. > Unfortunately, I never used cdbs, so I am a little lost here.

If you use something like debuild or dpkg-checkbuilddeps, that will check for proper build dependencies. If the only problem is that you're running dpkg-buildpackage directly and it's failing because of libpaper-dev not being installed, then I believe there's no bug here but rather an innocent and understandable case of user error. :-) If this is the case, we can close this bug report, but if not, I can help you look further. > Why do you still depend on debhelper, btw.? My debian/rules file includes debhelper.mk, so I have to depend upon debhelper. cdbs only recommends it because cdbs doesn't use debhelper if you don't include debhelper.mk. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
