Hi, I just tried to compile the wdm source package in Sarge, and it seems to compile fine _without_ libproplist0-dev (which I can't install, indeed).
Is libproplist0-dev really needed? According to packages.d.o, the contents of libproplist0-dev are: usr/include/proplist.h usr/lib/libPropList.a usr/lib/libPropList.la usr/lib/libPropList.so usr/share/doc/libproplist0-dev/README.gz usr/share/doc/libproplist0-dev/changelog.Debian.gz libdevel/libproplist0-dev usr/share/doc/libproplist0-dev/changelog.gz usr/share/doc/libproplist0-dev/copyright Of which supposedly proplist.h should be referenced by some source file in wdm, but: -------------------------------- 8< -------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/debian/wdm/wdm-1.27$ egrep -r proplist . ./ChangeLog: wdmPrefs will support only proplist format configs. ./ChangeLog: available in proplist config.
