Bug#126035: boot-floppies: 'make check_depends' demands utf8 libs

[Claus Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2001-12-21
Severity: important

boot-floppies version 3.0.18

'make check_depends' demands the builder to install utf8 libs when
building b-f w/o language chooser:


bash-2.05a$ make check_depends
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
checking variable dependancies
  didn't find slang1-utf8-pic
    didn't find slang1-utf8
      didn't find libnewt-utf8-0
      To install missing packages: apt-get install slang1-utf8-pic
slang1-utf8 libnewt-utf8-0
make: *** [check_depends] Error 1


If the advice/demand is followed, the built b-f will be broken; (all
strings are chopped at the first occurence of a non-english letter)

If the advice/demand is ignored, b-f builds fine. I have the following
relevant packages installed:

bash-2.05a$ dpkg --get-selections|grep install|grep slang
libterm-slang-perl                              install
slang1                                          install
slang1-dev                                      install
slang1-pic                                      install
bash-2.05a$ dpkg --get-selections|grep install|grep libnewt
libnewt-dev                                     install
libnewt-perl                                    install
libnewt-pic                                     install
libnewt0                                        install
