[Scratchbox-users] Scratchbox-provided packages not visible to 'apt-get build-dep'

[Matt Hoosier]

Hi,

Does anybody know whether there's a way to inject all of the various
SB-provided build-time packages (autotools, bison, build-essential,
dpkg, m4, awk, ssh, ....) into the namespace searched when one does an
'apt-get build-dep foo'?

This currently fails on the debhelper build-dep that most packages have:

  $ apt-get build-dep foo
  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  E: Build-Depends dependency for foo cannot be satisfied because no
available versions of package debhelper can satisfy version
requirements

Yet when actually invoking dpkg-buildpackage, the debhelper provided
by Scratchbox is enough to meet the requirements.
