Source: libxcb Version: 1.12-1 Severity: wishlist Currently, libxcb's Build-Depends on check introduces build dependency cycles. For example:
check Build-Depends on libsubunit-dev subunit Build-Depends on openstack-pkg-tools openstack-pkg-tools Depends on pristine-tar pristine-tar Build-Depends on git git Build-Depends on subversion subversion Build-Depends on kdelibs5-dev And kde4libs, of course, requires X. As far as I can tell, if I disable the testsuite, then the package builds fine without check installed. So, this cycle could be broken by updating the Build-Depends of src:libxcb to something like: Build-Depends: libxau-dev (>= 1:1.0.5-2), libxdmcp-dev (>= 1:1.0.3-2), xcb-proto (>= 1.12), xcb-proto (<< 2.0), libpthread-stubs0-dev (>= 0.1), debhelper (>= 9), pkg-config, xutils-dev, xsltproc (>= 1.1.19), check (>= 0.9.4-2) <!nocheck>, python-xcbgen (>= 1.12), libtool, automake, python, dctrl-tools -- Daniel Schepler
