Ok, that fixed that issue. :) I think that's worth reporting a bug in ivy, could you send in a report based on your experience and fix here? I suppose the 'ivy' package could just provide the right symlink, and then ant would find ivy.jar automatically.
After that, there was one more missing Build-Depends, ant-optional for JUnit support, then it built for me. I fixed a lintian error, complaining about "Architecture: any". That means the package can be built for any arch, but will have arch-specific binaries. "Architecture: all" means the binary will run on all arches, like Java .jars do. I pushed my commits and uploaded this package. .hc Komal Sukhani: > Hi Hans, > > Ant was searching for ivy.jar in /usr/share/ant/lib and > -/tmp/buildd/.ant/lib.
