Bug#365087: ITP: debcheck -- Checks whether dependencies of debian packages can be satisfied

[Sven Mueller <sven@incase.de>]

Hi.

While trying to compile your preliminary package on AMD64, I had a FTBFS
problem. I solved it, so this is only annecdotal, but please read the
last paragraph of this mail anyway.

After some searching, I found the problem to be that my version of
findutils interpreted the regular expression differently, so that your
Makefile rule to build .depend didn't match.

I modified the find call to be 'find . -name "*.ml" -o -name "*.mli"'
and it worked that way. I see the relevant bug in findutils has been
fixed in 4.2.22-2, so this is not an issue any longer.

However, I wonder why you have a "versioned" depend on ocaml-nox-3.09.1.
debcheck seems to run quite nicely on my Sarge box (with ocaml-nox 3.08

cu,
