Hello people, Today I was hit by the confusing fact that policy states that for the "build" target to be invoked, both Build-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep need to be satisfied, but at the same time the autobuilders don't seem to install Build-Depends-Indep when invoking "build". Section 7.6 of current policy leaves no doubt that in order to invoke "build", b-d-i will be installed. The buildds don't. This was already addressed in bug #178809, where one group of people says that the buildds are wrong, and someone else says that policy is wrong. This bug was closed though, with the following line: > * [AMENDMENT 6/6/2003] build-depends-indep need not be satisfied > during clean target. closes: Bug#191411, Bug#178809 That surprises me, appearently policy was fixed but I still think policy and current buildd-behaviour are contradictory. Can someone enlighten me about this problem? Thanks, Thijs
