Is it feasible to have at least some of the sid chroots > allow this? Alternatively, how about "sudo pbuilder login ..."? I was in this situation some time already. But it isn't a solution to get sudo apt-get install rights. Someone who may have a build-conflict with your build-depends won't be happy if you install that package(s). Also your build-depends may conflict with others build-depends and those would be removed. Again a someone is not happy situation. Regards, Laszlo/GCS
