Hi Goswin von Brederlow,

i think your problem is the same as the one occurring in two
mips builds [0]. I don't know how/why it is fixed now but mips
does build apt now successfully and i can't reproduce it in
either my unclean system or my pbuilder environment
(both i386 arch) so i don't know where to start looking for, but
a very quick look suggests that in the failing builds the docbook
package is not pulled in, but in the successful it is -
so it is maybe a build-dep error in apt, but as apt doesn't seem to
use the docbook package directly it is maybe a dependency
weakness in an other package?


Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

David "DonKult" Kalnischkies
