I agree in principle, but that is easier said than done in some cases. I tried to change a build dependency in the aplus-fsf package from xlibs-dev to libx11-dev and it failed to build under pbuilder, just like the above. I found some old messages that said the problem was that the autoconf macros AC_PATH_X and AC_PATH_XTRA make assumptions that are no longer valid with the split of all the X libs from xlibs-dev into the small components. Has anybody figured out how to use just libx11-dev and make these macros work? -- Neil Roeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
