Ok, I'll do the checking you asked, but also note that this bug is still reproducible on a sarge system called laplace (not my home machine), with unstable deb and deb-src sources.list lines held in check by apt.preferences (see the original bug report for more details about laplace, email with message id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dated Sun, 12 Jan 2003). This may not be the case much longer, once libc6 moves to sarge. You could most likely reproduce this yourself if you have a woody system available. laplace:/usr/local/src/advi# apt-get build-dep -s advi Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
