Because these packages build-depend on libkpathsea-dev (I assume -- I haven't reviewed all of them), and there is still a *real* libkpathsea-dev package in the archive, the autobuilders will prefer this real package instead of libkpathsea4-dev's Provides. If you remove libkpathsea-dev from the libkpathsea3 package (or drop libkpathsea3 altogether from unstable), then it should be possible to binNMU these -- assuming they're all binNMU-safe. (have you checked for that, btw?) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
