I'm not sure what grep-available is searching, but I don't have any Build-Depends in /var/lib/dpkg/available. Packages don't need to define any build depends if they only use standard sort of programs to build. I don't know if autoconf is one of those, but its used quite often, so I guess it could be. If you install build-essential with all the suggested packages, you will have autoconf installed. (gcc suggests autoconf) I wouldn't mind if apt-get had an --install-suggests option. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
