Hi Christian, There are some problems. I did,
---- $ apt-get -b source root Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Need to get 16.6MB of source archives. Get:1 http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov unstable/root root 5.09.01-1 (dsc) [1703B] Get:2 http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov unstable/root root 5.09.01-1 (tar) [15.9MB] Get:3 http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov unstable/root root 5.09.01-1 (diff) [678kB] Fetched 3B in 1s (3B/s) dpkg-source: extracting root in root-5.09.01 dpkg-buildpackage: source package is root dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 5.09.01-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Christian Holm Christensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libchirp-dev libxmlrpc-c-dev libdcap-dev libldap-dev libmysqlclient-dev | libmysqlclient12-dev | libmysqlclient14-dev xlibmesa-glu-dev | libglu-dev oracle-instantclient-devel postgresql-dev | libpq-dev pythia5-dev pythia6-dev python-dev (>= 2.1) libqt3-dev | libqt3-mt-dev ruby1.8-dev | ruby-dev (>= 1.8) libshift-dev sapdb-callif libvenus-dev libxml2-dev dpkg-buildpackage: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting. dpkg-buildpackage: (Use -d flag to override.)

Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Note, selecting libxaw7-dev instead of libxpm4-dev Note, selecting libxmlrpc-c3-dev instead of libxmlrpc-c-dev Note, selecting libldap2-dev instead of libldap-dev Package libmysqlclient-dev is a virtual package provided by: libmysqlclient12-dev 4.0.24-10sarge1 libmysqlclient10-dev 3.23.56-3 You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package libmysqlclient-dev has no installation candidate E: Build-Depends dependency for root cannot be satisfied because the package oracle-instantclient-devel cannot be found ---- I'm running sarge on i386. It seems you need to drop the dep on oracle-instantclient-devel since it's not in debian nor in the ROOT debian repository.
