From my understanding, it would be better to have them listed as not-for-us and get them out of the failed build list.

I agree with you. I wouldn't ask you to add anything that should be specified in a build-dep. Indeed, I file bugs whenever I find build-dep problems. Correct me if I'm wrong, but -ltiff is libtiff which is provided by libtiff3g. The build-dep from synaptic looks like this to me. Depends: hermes1 (>= 1.3.2-1), libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2-3.2, libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libjpeg62, libpng2(>=1.0.12), libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-0.010810), libtiff3g, libungif4g (>= 4.1-1), libwraster2 (>= 0.65.0), xlibs (>> 4.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.3) Which includes libtiff3g. That's why I don't think this is a package problem. Thanks, Stephen -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right! <stephen@marenka.net>
