I've been pointing to those instructions for a few years now but no-one pointed this out! Maybe they already had it installed or just quietly filled in the missing step (as APT does give a hint). I'll update the text, anyway. > Then "apt-get install build-essential fakeroot" isn't needed. Not if APT::Install-Recommends has been disabled. Anyway, have you been able to test either patch now?
