sbuild doesn't update packages if it's not asked to. If you know beforehand that a package *will* fail to build with a certain compiler, you should update your build-depends and/or build-conflicts likewise, so that there won't be a failed build in the first place. sbuild (the building component of buildd) isn't pbuilder; sbuild tries to build as many packages in as little time as possible. Therefore, installed packages aren't looked at (so that time isn't wasted on them) except to check that they satisfy versioned build-depends and/or build-conflicts. > The g++ RC enum bug was already fixed before I even uploaded the > packages which shows you how slow they are to fix problems on their > machines...

He doesn't help because he's not a DD, that's all. [...] > kdebase > ------- > m68k - failed - needs retry This is my fault; I thought it had built on quickstep, but I seem to have messed up things. For that reason, it's not in dep-ret or needs-build ATM (where it should've been). I sent Goswin (see below) a mail, clearing that up. [...] Note that most kde packages are still in the queue for m68k; we've got quite a backlog currently[1]. That said, Goswin von Brederlow is building them, ignoring their position in the queue, thereby special-casing KDE so that it gets built sooner. [1] due to the fact that we don't have enough autobuilders ATM. There are more being set up though, so it's being handled. -- Wouter Verhelst Debian GNU/Linux -- http://www.debian.org Nederlandstalige Linux-documentatie -- http://nl.linux.org "Stop breathing down my neck."
