[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#489556: sbuild: fails when build-conflict on a provided package

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.57.4-1

Hi,

When build-conflicting with << on a provided package, sbuild fails.
Examples of such failures are:
came
dovecot
mysql-gui-tools
t38modem
transfig

Exemple with transfig:
** Using build dependencies supplied by package:
Build-Depends: dpatch, debhelper (>= 5), gs-gpl (>= 8.56.dfsg.1-1.1), libxpm-dev (>= 1:3.5.4.2), xutils-dev, libpng12-0-dev | libpng-dev, texlive-latex-base, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-extra-utils, texlive-lang-german, gs-common, gawk, latex-beamer
Build-Conflicts: gs-esp (<< 8.50)
Checking for already installed source dependencies...
dpatch: missing
debhelper: missing
Using default version 7.0.14
gs-gpl: missing
Using default version 8.62.dfsg.1-2.1
libxpm-dev: missing
Using default version 1:3.5.7-1
xutils-dev: missing
libpng12-0-dev: missing
libpng-dev: missing
texlive-latex-base: missing
texlive-latex-recommended: missing
texlive-fonts-recommended: missing
texlive-extra-utils: missing
texlive-lang-german: missing
gs-common: missing
gawk: missing
latex-beamer: missing
gs-esp: already deinstalled
[...]
Checking correctness of source dependencies...
After installing, the following source dependencies are still
unsatisfied:
gs-esp(inst ~*=PROVIDED=*= << conflicted 8.50)
Source-dependencies not satisfied; skipping transfig

I think that this case should be a special case when checking
correctness of source deps.
