The following extra packages will be installed:
binutils build-essential debhelper dpkg-dev g++ g++-4.3 gcc gcc-4.3 html2text
intltool-debian libbeecrypt6 libc6-dev libcompress-raw-zlib-perl
libcompress-zlib-perl libdigest-hmac-perl libdigest-sha1-perl
libfile-remove-perl
libio-compress-base-perl libio-compress-zlib-perl libmail-box-perl
libmail-sendmail-perl libmime-types-perl
libobject-realize-later-perl librpm4.4
libstdc++6-4.3-dev libsys-hostname-long-perl libuser-identity-perl
linux-libc-dev
make po-debconf rpm
Suggested packages:
lsb-rpm lintian binutils-doc dh-make debian-keyring g++-multilib
g++-4.3-multilib
gcc-4.3-doc libstdc++6-4.3-dbg gcc-multilib manpages-dev autoconf automake1.9
libtool flex bison gdb gcc-doc gcc-4.3-multilib libmudflap0-4.3-dev
gcc-4.3-locales libgcc1-dbg libgomp1-dbg libmudflap0-dbg glibc-doc
libhtml-format-perl spamassassin libmail-imapclient-perl libstdc++6-4.3-doc
make-doc
And if I trying to install any few packages more from 'suggested'
section, that process of never-end dependences have promise to
'convert' my end-user computer into developer station :)
I am just trying to install a tiny prog about 20kb in weight :) Do I
really need 100+ megs of something I will never use to have it done :)
?
Is that possible to do this "convert" operation online?
"To build, or do not to build?" :)
