Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to follow this up.
No, all versions of advi in the archives require ocamltk as a
build-depend. (Please verify this.) I thought of this too. In any case,
would I not be correct to think that apt-get source advi and apt-get
build-dep advi should correspond to the same version of the package, ie.
the latest version for which there is the source code available?

As you can see, I have built and installed (a previous) unstable version
of advi on my system. Don't know if this makes any difference.

Yes, I agree there is something strange going on.

With the following sources.list I get
Chrestomanci:/etc/apt# apt-get build-dep advi
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Note, selecting libcamlimages-ocaml-dev instead of camlimages
E: Some broken packages were found while trying to process
build-dependencies.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
There is nothing wrong with the package database, though. apt-get -f
install doesn't do anything. I've got this message before.
I get a similar message on another system I have which is just tracking
woody. Note however that system also has lines for unstable debs and
sources.

The version in unstable. I've already built and installed it.

Yes, you seem to be getting correct behaviour.
I do have unstable debs, not just sources. Don't see why that should make
a difference, though.

Hmm. I went off to another system called laplace (by ssh). This system is
relatively new, just a few weeks old. I'll include a sources.list,
/etc/apt/preferences, and apt-config dump at the end of this message.
Currently ocamltk is not installed on this system either, not is advi.
laplace:/usr/local/src/advi# dpkg -l ocamltk advi
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==========================-==========================-====================================================================
un ocamltk <none> (no description
available)
un advi <none> (no description
available)
This is what I get.
laplace:/usr/local/src/advi# apt-get build-dep advi
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libcamlimages-ocaml libcamlimages-ocaml-dev libpng-dev libungif4-dev
ocaml ocaml-base
0 packages upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 4585kB of archives. After unpacking 20.6MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
So it is not just my system that is doing this. Perhaps you could try
mimicking my config as closely as possible and see what you get.
Specifically, use my sources.list and my preferences file. Since it seems
you are in the US (Virginia, not that far from me, actually) it should be
possible. I can try it on a third system if you want. I have one system
which is still only tracking stable, but with unstable debs and sources
held back by a suitable /etc/apt/preferences file.
Sorry about the plethora of information. Just trying to be helpful and a
good Debian citizen. :-)
Faheem.
