Umm.. Not really actually libglib2.0-dev is must dependency for the fontforge. I missed it previously, it still worked because the dependency got pulled in reverse dependencies of libcario2-dev and libpango1-dev. What broke was pdf2htmlex which build depends on libfontforge-dev as there was no declaration of libglib2.0-dev in dependencies. Now I added it in the build-depends and let d-devlibdeps do the job of resolving dependencies from it :-). > > But please don't follow my advice blindly: As always, ask (not for > permission but for clarification) if in doubt. :-) Sure. Let me know what you think of my clarification above.
