Bug#214566: dpkg-checkbuilddeps: please consider adding option to format output



Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.10.15
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

dpkg-checkbuilddeps currently prints the Build Depends
comma-separated, with version information. I would like to be able to
apt-get install build-dependencies for packages that are themselves
not available via apt, hence apt-get build-dep being unuseable in this
environment.

An option to dpkg-checkbuilddepends causing the program to simply
output the names of the missing packages, space separated, without
versioning infos, would do the job well.

Please consider adding that option to a future version of
dpkg-checkbuilddeps.

Greetings
Marc
