Hi,

I have a slight problem when building opensp for GNU/Hurd. In the
build-dep list for opensp we have:

apt-cache showsrc opensp|grep Build-Depends
Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 7.0.0), dh-buildinfo, xmlto, poppler-utils,
openjade1.3 | openjade, jadetex, docbook-dsssl

When issuing 'apt-get build-dep opensp' openjade1.3 is installed. The
problem is that opensp does not build with that version. However it
builds OK with openjade (currently 1.4devel1-20).

Does changing the order prefer openjade before openjade1.3? Or would
adding openjade1.3 [!hurd-i386] be a better solution.

I edited the Build-Depends entry of opensp in
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.se.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sou rces
as a test but all the time openjade1.3 was selected.

Doesn't apt-get build-dep read that file, or what is wrong with my
tests?

I believe that changing the order is better.

To change this, you need to change the listing in /var/lib/apt/lists/,
i.e. in the Packages file for the repository/ies you use in your
sources list. One way to do that is to use a local repository
containing a modified package. That way, the data gets into the apt
cache - it is not read from the package.

apt uses the cache built from downloaded Packages/Sources files.

Use dpkg-checkbuilddeps to work on the currently unpacked package then
install the necessary build-deps manually.

You mean that you get the thread assertion issue?

Which could explain why it worked for me: I had installed openjade, not
openjade1.3.

Yes.
But are you implying that you'd want to submit that patch to the
maintainer? I guess that if the order is that one, there's a reason.

The better solution would be to actually fix the issue, not hide it.

Anyway, to fix your local issue, simply install openjade by hand, and
apt-get build-dep will be fine with it.
