| It's a dpkg-dev issue, the chroot on the build daemon has to be upgraded.

Yes, I noticed that later on the new r-base upload (which cost me a few hours
of work to get error-less due to the new dpkg-shlibdeps behaviour).

That said, sparc seems to be behind on a number of my packages.  If there is
anything I should do differently, let me know.

Thanks, Dirk
