Hello, I'm a bit confused. From http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=mcvs&ver=1.0.13-11&arch=ia64&stamp=1133382079&file=log&as=raw I see clisp-dev getting installed, but no clisp as described. However: 0/pvaneynd@sharrow:~/fakeroot/repository/clisp :) $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C apt-cache depends clisp-dev clisp-dev Depends: clisp |Depends: libreadline5-dev ... and the control file both _do_ specify a dependency on clisp. So, why isn't clisp getting fetched by the apt-get install ... clisp-dev ? I even checked on merulo: pvaneynd@merulo:~$ dchroot sid Executing shell in chroot: /chroot/sid pvaneynd@merulo:~$ apt-cache depends clisp-dev clisp-dev Depends: clisp ... On the same machine, same chroot: pvaneynd@merulo:~$ apt-get install --simulate --option 'Debug::NoLocking=1' clisp-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...
