<sigh> I seem to have take more than my share of idiot pill lately. Perhaps I can improve my track record with intelligent messsage. At least my stuff on the wiki apparently works.

I suspected that, but I installed every pic in sight to make sure it worked.

Er, dpkg-checkbuilddeps just returned to the command line, which I presume means as far as it was concerned everything was a-ok. | |>libc6-pic | | | This provides a virtual package, glibc-pic, which is in the build | dependencies.

Well afir the only change between a build with this message and the build getting further, was adding the pic's so something screwy was going on. Personally I think my problems are a result of trying to use the buildscript before this. I know it's supposed to be fine, but it sounds like it's really not used much, I'm having problems that no one else is, and building d-i should just be a make command once the build dependencies are installed so there's really not that much to screw up and be an idiot with.

Hmmm...that is either from buildscript, or because I was getting desperate, I can't recall which. I think I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and reinstall debian to get back to a coherent state. Blah for buildscript IMNSHO.
Well, thanks for attempting to help anyway.
Cheers,
Daniel
