Hi Mechtilde, One way to ensure that all of the reverse build dependencies still build from your updated package is to `apt install ratt` and then invoke ratt against the changes file for a local build of the package you are updating. ratt will then build all of the reverse dependencies using sbuild. There is a very good wiki page on configuring sbuild here: https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild Cheers, tony
