Bug#98640: apt build-dep stops on non-existent package even if dependency is fufilled

[Michael Fair <michael@daclubhouse.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: normal



-- System Information
Debian Release: testing/unstable
Architecture: i386
Kernel: Linux DrPepper 2.2.18pre21 #3 Sat May 19 12:55:08 PDT 2001 i686

Versions of packages apt depends on:
ii  libc6                  2.2.3-1           GNU C Library: Shared libraries an
ii  libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-0.010424 The GNU stdc++ library            

command line: apt build-dep guppi

guppi from unstable depends on libesd0-dev | libesd-alsa0-dev.
libesd0-dev is installed.
libesd-alsa0-dev does not seem to exist from any source location.
(I do not have a deb entry for the unstable tree)

apt stops, complaining about the non-existence of libesd-alsa0-dev.

apt should continue to build because the libesd0-dev package requirement
fufills its dependency.
