I'm not sure you can get completely correct depends info w/o a real chroot (or your fakechroot idea)... i suppose if we play tricks with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and such it should work. we might have to hack up dpkg a bit too -- i actually tried to do this last night before i did the overrides but couldn't get it to work. hope you have better luck at it. randolph -- Debian Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.TauSq.org/
