Yes, I agree. But that does not help me understand the message. What does it want me to do here? The message seems to suggest that package A must be in the DEPENDS list for package B, which is definitely not the case here. Package B contains some scripts and config files, and has an architecture of "all" and can be built even way before the compiler and C libraries are present on the build host. Package A however needs lots of other things, and will likely start building much later than that. -- Mike Looijmans
