But it seems that this does not happen, so I’m fine with removing them. Of course, only after making sure the reverse build-dependencies are checked whether they build without it (or after making sure that currently, the buildds would only install ghc6 and not libghc6-filepath-dev anyways). $ apt-cache showpkg libghc6-filepath-dev Package: libghc6-filepath-dev Versions: Reverse Depends: twidge-build-depends,libghc6-filepath-dev twidge-build-depends,libghc6-filepath-dev hpodder-build-depends,libghc6-filepath-dev hpodder-build-depends,libghc6-filepath-dev dfsbuild-build-depends,libghc6-filepath-dev dfsbuild-build-depends,libghc6-filepath-dev datapacker-build-depends,libghc6-filepath-dev datapacker-build-depends,libghc6-filepath-dev Dependencies: Provides: Reverse Provides: ghc6 6.10.4-1 Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
