Ok, I'll do the checking you asked, but also note that this bug is still
reproducible on a sarge system called laplace (not my home machine), with
unstable deb and deb-src sources.list lines held in check by
apt.preferences (see the original bug report for more details about
laplace, email with message id
<Pine.LNX.4.44.0301121529580.12975-100000@Chrestomanci> dated Sun, 12 Jan
2003). This may not be the case much longer, once libc6 moves to sarge.
You could most likely reproduce this yourself if you have a woody system
available.
laplace:/usr/local/src/advi# apt-get build-dep -s advi

I assume it is now looking for build dependencies of the current advi in
unstable (advi 1.4), but notice it still does not install ocamltk, which
is *not* already installed.
laplace:/usr/local/src/advi# dpkg -l ocamltk
||/ Name Version Description
+++-========================-========================-================================================================
un ocamltk <none> (no description
available)
I could use this machine to check any debugging information you want.
I attach current sources.list for laplace below.
