I quote from Debian Library Packaging guide > 2. -DEV package dependencies > > The -DEV package would usually declare Depends: relationship on all -DEV > packages for libraries that the library package directly depends upon, > with the specific SONAME version that the library package is linked > against. This includes libc-dev. [5] Does this mean that if my library has an include reference #include <stdio.h> in one of its .c or .h files, then my -dev package must have a depends line like this in its debian/control file: Depends: OTHER-STUFF, libc6-dev If that is the case, how come the the debian/control file for libtar_1.2.11-6 does not list such a dependancy? it includes <stdio.h>. I have been using it as a model, cause it has already gone thru the process. I am probably missing something. Thank you for clearing up my confusion. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
