In particular, if you add a specific repository to the sources.list in the chroot, you should remember to remove it before trying to build a different package and watch the build logs carefully so that the "non-standard" repository is only used for this specific package. For similar reasons, you should not simply install the library into the chroot - that would make it available to (and possibly interfere with) all builds using that chroot. Also, this dependency will have to be resolved before the other package can be uploaded to Debian - the library will have to be uploaded first and it's probably best to leave at least a few days after uploading the library before uploading the package that requires the library so that the library itself is built properly on each architecture before the package tries to build. That said, there is an argument that it's not good to have libraries which are only used by one package. If you aren't expecting other packages to start using the library without using the application, perhaps you shouldn't create a library package at all? Just bundle the library into the application package. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
