Hi,

   I just tried to compile the wdm source package in Sarge, and it seems to
compile fine _without_ libproplist0-dev (which I can't install, indeed).

   Is libproplist0-dev really needed? According to packages.d.o, the contents
of libproplist0-dev are:

usr/include/proplist.h
usr/lib/libPropList.a
usr/lib/libPropList.la
usr/lib/libPropList.so
usr/share/doc/libproplist0-dev/README.gz
usr/share/doc/libproplist0-dev/changelog.Debian.gz
libdevel/libproplist0-dev
usr/share/doc/libproplist0-dev/changelog.gz
usr/share/doc/libproplist0-dev/copyright

Of which supposedly proplist.h should be referenced by some source file in
wdm, but:

The only source file with the string "proplist" in it is plcheckers.c, which
includes it inside a comment... Hmmm....
