debootstrap is the one. "make check" in 3.0.14 picked up the problem. Once installed everything started to work. >From boot-floppies control in cvs (yesterday) Depends: dpkg-dev, gcc, glibc-pic, slang1-pic, libnewt-dev, libpopt-dev, zlib1g-dev, recode, make, gettext, m4, debiandoc-sgml, libi18n-langtags-perl, man-db, libpaperg, tetex-bin, tetex-extra, perl5, libwww-perl, pointerize, libgd-dev, bison, ash, dpkg-awk, flex, file, debhelper, gawk, console-data Suggests: python-xml from my ../dpkg/status (installed yesterday).
