mh_make is part of the package maven-debian-helper (Thomas: I cant find the package debian-java you were talking about) but according to the bootstrap tools, maven-debian-helper is not part of any dependency cycle. I would be glad if you can prove me wrong because then you found yet another bug in my code. :) A java helper which is part of many dependency cycles, is the package javahelper which is part of the main SCC. It seems that 233 source packages relevant for the bootstrap process build depend on javahelper (out of a total of 290 source packages build depending on it). cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
