</div>I'm running "debuild -us -uc" and, as you said, getting a lot of unmet build dependencies. My questions are, should I upgrade my hardy system with these dependencies or override them with -d? I ultimately want to install nut 2.4.1 on a different server system running hardy. Will these dependencies need to be upgraded on this server system as well? If so, I'm not sure I want to configure this system beyond the standard hardy install.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>it depends on the deps!<br>first, you can trim down debian/control Build-deps, remove the powerman-pdu packages and possibly some more (nut-snmp?) according to your needs.<br>then go to debian/rules and remove the uneeded options from the configure call.<br>
after that, the remaining deps should be straightworfard... you may want to force --without-wrap or bring down the dep on libwrap too.<br>maybe one more iirc: the debhelper dep. can be brought down to hardy's version if you remove the dh_lintian call in debian/rules.<br>

Thanks for your help. As you suggested, I would prefer to install a deb package for nut 2.4.1 since it does offer better integration.</blockquote><div><br>sure ;-) <br></div></div><br>cheers,<br>Arno<br>
