Hi, to build an "experimental" version of one of my packages, I need to specify a package that is in unstable (1.0.5-1) and in experimental (1.1~b1-1), and I need the experimental version here.
With "cowbuilder --login --save-after-login", I have put the "experimental" distribution into /etc/apt/sources.list: (chroot) # cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main and I did "sudo cowbuilder --update" afterwards. When I then do a "cowbuilder --login", I can install the needed version manually: (chroot) # apt-get install python-astropy-helpers=1.1~b1-1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: [...] However, when I now try to use this to build my package, it does not work: $ pdebuild [...] This package is uninstallable Dependency is not satisfiable: python-astropy-helpers (>= 1.1~) [...] The package I am trying to build is python-astropy, from the alioth git: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/python-astropy.git/tree/?h=experimental What could be the cause that the dependency is not satisfied from experimental here? Best regards Ole
