[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#380113: sbuild: Please install missing toolchain packages

[Roger Leigh]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.49
Severity: wishlist

In addition to checking the toolchain package versions, it would be nice
if missing or outdated toolchain packages would be automatically
installed or upgraded, respectively.


Regards,
Roger
