Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-4
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source


Hi, I'm making this report from another computer (no email configured in
the machine where the bug occurs), sorry for that.

The machine where the bug occurs is clean etch + backported apt, dpkg
and pkg-dev from lenny. Basically I want to backport aptitude from lenny
to etch. Process is quite straightforward:

  sudo apt-get build-dep aptitude 
  apt-get source aptitude
  cd aptitude-0.4.11.4 
  fakeroot debian/rules binary

and it barfs with the error:

  tags.h:228:33: error: ept/debtags/debtags.h: No such file or directory

The root cause is that aptitude in lenny depends on wrong version of
libept-dev. It should source-depend on >0.5.17 instead.
