After waiting nearly an hour for pbuilder to finish setting up the build environment for a Vim build the other day, I decided to take a look at what caused the installation of the Build-Depends to take so much longer than it used to. As far as I can tell, it's the installation and configuration of the texlive-fonts-recommended package (and its dependencies) pulled in by jadetex. At first glance, the name of both texlive-fonts-recommended and texlive-latex-recommended imply that they'd be better off as Recommends. The description of the package and its capabilities doesn't seem to indicate that there's a requirement for all these packages to be Depends either. I may be completely offbase though as I'm speaking simply from the perspective of a maintainer who uses docbook2* for a couple quick conversions of one document. If I am, sorry for taking up your time. James -- GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <jamessan@debian.org>
