Package: glibc Version: 2.1.3-5 Hi Joel!
The autobuilder found some missing build dependencies for glibc: perl, groff >From the logs: > make[1]: Entering directory > `/usr/local/home/buildd/build/glibc-2.1.3/glibc-2.1.3/linuxthreads/man' > perl troffprepro pthread_atfork.man pthread_atfork.3thr > perl troffprepro pthread_attr_init.man pthread_attr_init.3thr > perl troffprepro pthread_cancel.man pthread_cancel.3thr This definitively uses perl, which isn't included in the build dependencies. It also looks likely that the troffprepro script calls groff, at least the access time of this file has changed... BTW, I've seen this for the first time, otherwise I would have reported it with the last "missing build deps" bug... BTW^2: It isn't really nice IHMO that glibc build-depends on perl... This generates another big cycle in build deps, which can bite new architectures or people that want to recompile the distribution from scratch. But if there's no easy way around this, I guess we have to live with it :-( Roman
