Ah. This is one of the missing links.
I have done these things:
1. Cloned my Woody chroot environment, cp -a woody sarge, and in Sarge
2. Edited /etc/apt/sources.list to point to a Sarge mirror
3. apt-get update
4. apt-get dist-upgrade
5. Fixed a problem that's NYB, but caused some grief;-(.
6. apt-get -y install d-shlibs
I can now build libdebian-installer3. Thankyou Stephane.
I now get some more build deps of which apt-get install can't find
libdebconf1.
I can find the relevant debs (actually two versions) on a convient
mirror, but what's the proper incantation to get it?
In source.list I have:
deb http://cc.computerdatasafe.com.au/debian-sarge/ sarge main
deb http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
deb-src http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
deb-src http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/ stable main
