This does look the same.

It's fixed by switching to the 'aptitude' dependency resolver
instead of the 'internal' resolver, since it's far more capable
and can resolve complex depdendencies, including virtual and
alternative dependencies.

If you try sbuild 0.60.2-1, it should work just fine.  0.60.3-1
should be out this weekend, and that will hopefully switch to
using the aptitude resolver by default.


Regards,
Roger
