sorry, i don't understand: this one _did_ actually stop me
from being able to build the xserver-xfree86 package (well, the build
completed but the debian make-install process failed)
i _had_ done apt-get build-dep xserver-xfree86, and therefore
i believe this to be a real error (unlike the other silly
ones like using a ccache gcc script incorrectly).
i will ask on the debian-x list as to what the problem might be.

Truth, honesty and respect are rare commodities that all spring from
the same well: Love. If you love yourself and everyone and everything
around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
