Build-depending on non-free package
Hi,
I've uploaded a package to contrib [1], that needs a non-free package
(pgplot5) as build dependency. While it builds nicely on my local
pbuilder (after adding non-free), it fails to build on the buildds [2].
Is there a special thingy that I missed when I specified the dependency?
Also, I am wondering about the section and priority: The control file
[3] and the dsc file has contrib/science and optional, but the PTS lists
them as contrib/misc and extra. Who changed that, why is this done, and
shouldn't the uploaded/maintainer be informed about such changes?
Best
Ole
