Ah. This is one of the missing links. I have done these things: 1. Cloned my Woody chroot environment, cp -a woody sarge, and in Sarge 2. Edited /etc/apt/sources.list to point to a Sarge mirror 3. apt-get update 4. apt-get dist-upgrade 5. Fixed a problem that's NYB, but caused some grief;-(. 6. apt-get -y install d-shlibs I can now build libdebian-installer3. Thankyou Stephane. I now get some more build deps of which apt-get install can't find libdebconf1. I can find the relevant debs (actually two versions) on a convient mirror, but what's the proper incantation to get it? In source.list I have: deb http://cc.computerdatasafe.com.au/debian-sarge/ sarge main deb http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/ sarge main deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main deb-src http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/ unstable main deb-src http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/ stable main -- Cheers John Summerfield Please, no off-list mail at all at all.
