Well, i have a fixed package, but pbuilder fails with :
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgnomeui-dev: Depends: libgnomeui-0 (= 2.10.1-1) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libgnome2-dev (>= 2.6.0) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libbonoboui2-dev (>= 2.8.1-2) but it is not going to
be installed
Not very helpful, i think.
Maybe we should build a graph of dependencies for all involved packages, so
that we catch those problem and know which packages to build or something.
