Is there any document explaining why this problem happens? I wanted to use libtiff5-dev because libtiff4-dev is in "oldlibs" now, so I didn't want to depend on a deprecated library just to have to modify it later. So I changed that to lt5-d alone, but with lt5-d it didn't build in my pbuilder because of the libmagic++-dev thing. Then I figured out that if I put both, it will use lt4-d while required by libmagic++-dev, and lt5-d afterwards. And because libtiff-dev is only provided by v4: $ aptitude show libtiff-dev No current or candidate version found for libtiff-dev Package: libtiff-dev State: not a real package Provided by: libtiff4-dev So this built fine in my pbuilder and the buildd for i386, I was wondering why the others didn't process it. So, is there anything intrinsically wrong with my Build-Depends? Other than that, I think that libtiff5-dev should "Povides: libtiff-dev" as well, so there would be a clear migration path without these problems.
