Package: virtualbox-ose-source Version: 1.5.6-dfsg-6 Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source
it is a major nuisance that a lot of those source packages depend on prebuild debian kernel packages (i for one know nobody who ever uses them other than for installation). it always (the information is not accessible readily) requires one failing build to find out, fix that *** and rebuild. that dependency does not have any justification in code nor in usability -- it seems to be there only to annoy. at least it should be possible to inform the user before actually building that those packages are not installed and even better ask him, what to do and if asked to do so, build without dependency on those packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_DK.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages virtualbox-ose-source depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.5-0.1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii debhelper 6.0.11 helper programs for debian/rules ii dpatch 2.0.29 patch maintenance system for Debia ii kbuild 1:0.1.2svn1393-1 framework for writing simple makef ii module-assistant 0.10.11.0 tool to make module package creati virtualbox-ose-source recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
