As Adam previously said: buildds do not resolve alternatives. They use the first dependency or fail to build from source if it isn't available. Dmitry's proposal has the same problem. Thus, any "Build-Depends: A | B" does not work for buildds if A is not installable. The rationale is, that builds should unconditionally result in the same binary package (I guess). -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
