[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#395271: sbuild: doesn't handle dependancies resolution correctly for libmail-box-perl

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.52
Severity: important

Hi,

While trying to build libmail-box-perl using sbuild, I ran into a
problem: it seems that sbuild doesn't resolve the build-deps correctly when it involves dealing with Provides. Here is the log:

******************************************************************************

It would be great if either:
- sbuild could say which package provides a specific dependancy, to help
  debugging this
- this was handled correctly (but I'm not sure of what "correctly" means
  here)

Another possible example of this bug is libtest-base-perl and its
dependancy on libtest-simple-perl.

Thank you,
