Actually dpkg-shlibdeps will use the shlibs file of the installed version of libpspell2, not the one you're building. This is even worse :) In the past I have solved this problem by invoking dpkg-shlibdeps with a LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting that makes it find the libaries in the build tree. This way you get a warning that it couldn't find what package provides them, but you don't get a bogus dependency. I haven't found a cleaner solution. -- Richard Braakman Looking for a job writing free software. See http://www.xs4all.nl/~dark/resume.html
