It's hard to disagree with that. We know that it is a kludge. Though it is a kludge that makes those 67 source packages work and it is a kludge that makes recognizing the size of the problem easy. Still, adding that dependency will turn cross build failures into dependency-satisfaction failures thus saving lots of brain cycles. Helmut
