Er, except I was expecting you to change this build-dependency to point at the *current* libmysqlclient dev package: diff -u nagios-plugins-1.4/debian/control nagios-plugins-1.4/debian/control --- nagios-plugins-1.4/debian/control +++ nagios-plugins-1.4/debian/control @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ Section: net Priority: extra Maintainer: Guido Trotter <ultrotter@debian.org> -Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), dpatch (>= 2.0.9), libldap2-dev, postgresql-dev, libmysqlclient-dev, libsnmp5-dev, libradius1-dev, libkrb5-dev, qstat, fping, libnet-snmp-perl, procps, coreutils | fileutils, iputils-ping, dnsutils, bind9-host | host, ntpdate, ntp-simple, smbclient, snmp, ssh, mawk | awk, exim4 | mail-transport-agent +Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), dpatch (>= 2.0.9), libldap2-dev, postgresql-dev, libmysqlclient10-dev | libmysqlclient-dev, libsnmp5-dev, libradius1-dev, libkrb5-dev, qstat, fping, libnet-snmp-perl, procps, coreutils | fileutils, iputils-ping, dnsutils, bind9-host | host, ntpdate, ntp-simple, smbclient, snmp, ssh, mawk | awk, exim4 | mail-transport-agent Standards-Version: 3.6.1.0 Package: nagios-plugins libmysqlclient10 is an old, deprecated library, and as the libmysqlclient-lgpl maintainer, I would object very strongly to adding a package to sarge which depends on it. Previous builds of nagios-plugins depended on libmysqlclient12, so this is a regression; please change this to libmysqlclient12-dev instead. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
