Bug#184536: apt: build dependcies cannot be satisfied when dependencies exist



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4.9
Severity: important

When I try to run "apt-get build-dep <src-pkg>", I get an error
message. This makes it very difficult to build almost any package
automatically. I pretty sure this didn't happen with 0.5.4.

bmc@stonewall:/tmp/gnome-lokkit-0.50% dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is gnome-lokkit
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 0.50-4
dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>> 3.0.0) libnewt-dev libgnome-dev automake docbook-utils
dpkg-buildpackage: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.
dpkg-buildpackage: (Use -d flag to override.)
bmc@stonewall:/tmp/gnome-lokkit-0.50% sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-lokkit
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Build-Depends dependency for gnome-lokkit cannot be satisfied because no available versions of package automake can satisfy version requirements

I'm running sid.
