Hello!

I'm trying to recompile my KDE installation with apt-get/apt-build to get a 
speed improvement.

My problem is, that when running 'apt-get build-dep kdebase4' it complains 
about a missing package named 'libtiff3g-dev'.

This package is only available in Debian Woody, but that version is 
incompatible with Sarge (se output below).

Have I found a bug or is this something users are supposed to live with? Where 
can I find a libtiff3g-dev-package for Sarge?


# apt-get build-dep kdelibs4
=>
Package libtiff3g-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libtiff3g-dev has no installation candidate
E: Failed to satisfy Build-Depends dependency for kdelibs: libtiff3g-dev

(after adding Debian stable repository: )

# apt-get install libtiff3g-dev
=>
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libtiff3g-dev: Depends: libtiff3g (= 3.5.5-6) but 3.6.1-2 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
