Bug Description

Binary package hint: pbuilder

I tried to use pbuilder-satisfydepends-gdebi to speed up pbuilder. It failed because gdebi was not installed on my system (Kubuntu Feisty).

The version number of pbuilder is 0.166ubuntu1.

Regards,

Michael

pbuilder-satisfydepends-gdebi is indeed using gdebi, which is neither a dependancy nor a recommendation nor a suggestion of pbuilder.

I will make pbuilder recommend gdebi-core.
(Please note, that all the *-desktop meta packages seem to depend on gdebi already)

Please make gdebi a suggests, not a recommends. Debian install recommends by default and Ubuntu does too with aptitude and pbuilder works just fine with no gdebi at all.
