Thank you very much Stuart to speak out for me. Learning to maintaining Debian packages could be very intimidating, and it couldn’t be any worse than being intimidated by being labelled as asking "silly" questions. I know it's been quite a while, but I was so intimidated that I only have the courage to revisit the thread today after getting the initial hostile respond. It is apparent in OP that I was trying to get depends installed for the emacs source package and I only know pbuilder-satisfydepends. I don't think anyone would misread that except using it as a lame excuse to cover up bullying. It really make me sick that I've been jerked around by some people who think they know enough to bully newcomers. Thanks again Stuart for trying to set things straight for new people like me.
