The Autoconf test is only broken from the perspective of a package that does not use Xt. There is no telling how many programs that use the test do not use Xt. Summary: If you want to use the built-in Autoconf test, you need to Build-Depend on libxt-dev. If you do not want to Build-Depend on libxt-dev, then you can use a different Autoconf test (not built-in) that does not check for Xt. -- Ben Pfaff email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://benpfaff.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
