So I'll spend some time to learn that properly. This lua-lpeg depedency is there because I was until recently a user of the .deb provided by GetDeb and I noticed after an update that the game was spewing a runtime error about this missing lib; installing lua-lpeg solved the problem I told GetDeb maintainer to add this to the package depedencies, without explicitely stating weither this should go in Build-Dep or Dep. And then I started from this list of depedencies to build my package. > cheers, > > G.
