Subject: grass: Outdated build-deps for testing
Source: grass
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

*** Please type your report below this line ***

The grass source package from testing (6.0.2-6) has impossible build
dependencies for testing, and the current grass binary in 
testing cannot have been built with these dependencies. 

This:

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: fftw3-dev
libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev libglu1-xorg-dev | xlibmesa-glu-dev autoconf2.13 
libgdal1-1.3.1-dev

results in this:

to be REMOVED:
  libgl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx x-window-system
x-window-system-core xlibmesa-dri xlibmesa-gl xlibmesa-gl-dev xorg
to be INSTALLED:
  autoconf2.13 fftw3-dev libgl1-mesa-swx11 libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev
libglu1-xorg-dev

To remove xorg just to build grass? Somewhat exaggarated, IMHO.

And the current grass binary dependes on libgdal1-1.3.2, which is the
current version in testing, not 1.3.1, which is required by 
the source package. Would be nice to have the control file that was used
to build the current testing packages, not some age-old 
ones.

Greetings,

Harri K.
