IMHO dpkg-source should not check them, or at most warn (they are not unpack depends but build depends). dpkg-buildpackage should check them, but allow the user to override the check (with three options: no check, warning only, stop on errors). Remember, apt-get -b source and the build daemons will have set the system up correctly and checking the situation in dpkg-* scripts will just take resources for no good reason. -- %%% Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % http://www.iki.fi/gaia/ %%% "" (John Cage)
