which-pkg-broke-build1

Usage

Overview

The which-pkg-broke-build program will retrieve a list of all (recursive) build-dependencies of the named package sorted by the time they were installed on the system (as determined from the mtime information of /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list .

This tool allows a package developer to obtain information that might correlate installation of package build-dependencies with a package build breakage in order to find which build-dependency update might be responsible for the breakage.

Parameters

If there's a parameter and it's an existing directory, which-pkg-broke-build assumes that this is an unpacked Debian source package and looks for its build-dependencies.

If there's a parameter and it's not an existing directory, which-pkg-broke-build assumes that it's a source package name and looks for that source package's build-dependencies.

If there's no parameter, which-pkg-broke-build assumes that the current directory contains an unpacked Debian source package and looks for its build-dependencies.
