10:18 <cjwatson> wgrant: Hm, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmoox-cmd-perl/0.013-2/+build/7541385 should have been a dep-wait, surely?
10:20 <cjwatson> wgrant: Oh, no, never mind, that's uninstallability more than one level deep
10:22 <cjwatson> wgrant: This is maybe a little unfortunate, because I think it really is just that one. Probably an sbuild bug in that it should be using "apt-get build-dep".
10:23 <cjwatson> Yeah, everything's fine in that build-dependency set apart from the version restriction
10:27 <cjwatson> Tempting to do http://paste.ubuntu.com/11772424/
10:56 <wgrant> cjwatson: Will that reliably cope with alternatives?
10:56 <wgrant> There are some complexities there.
10:58 <cjwatson> build-dep should in general cope better than install. The only reason I didn't do it in the first place in that code was that I was being conservative when fixing up cross handling.
10:58 <cjwatson> But it certainly makes sense to check that.
10:58 <cjwatson> Hm, it's perhaps possible that it would break the --no-resolve-alternatives case ...
11:00 * cjwatson leaves an XXX comment for himself to check that later
