I am trying to create and Debian package from source with the dpkg-buildpackage command but it complains about not having the package debhelper installed. The problem is that debhelper is not installeable in the current configuration since the debhelper package in the Excito repositories is an much newer then the one in the etch repositories and it needs an newer dpkg-dev then can be found in the repositories. Is there an reson for this?
This is the error from trying install the debhelper package
Code: Select all
% apt-get install debhelper
<cut>
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
debhelper: Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.14.15) but 1.13.25 is to be installed
Depends: man-db (>= 2.5.1-1) but 2.4.3-6 is to be installed Code: Select all
