Hello all, Again more thanks to Craig. I have built and installed several backports, but the one I am still trying for will not yet build. It does not see the backports I did build and install as providing the dependencies, yet. I suspect that I may need to alter something in the dependencies thhat I backport built, or is it possible to alter the dependencies requirements in the backport built with dpkg-buildpackage. Even with one of the backports, it produced multiple debs, and one of those depends on two others, and adding the "~backport" tag in the changelog stalls the one that depends on the other two. Maybe did not need the backport tag, but on the other hand, I do want such indication. I built tiff-4.0.10, and libtiff-dev depends on libtiff5 and libtiffxx5 (version = 4.0.10-4 versus 4.0.10-4~backport). Without those all installed, dpkg-buildpackage will not build sane-backends-1.0.27. Regards, Mark Trickett
