Source: dpkg Section: base Priority: required Maintainer: Ian Jackson and others Standards-Version: 2.1.0.0 Package: dpkg Architecture: any Essential: yes Pre-Depends: ${shlibs:Pre-Depends} Replaces: dpkg-doc-ja Description: Package maintenance system for Debian This package contains the programs which handle the installation and removal of packages on your system. . The primary interface for the dpkg suite is the `dselect' program; a more low-level and less user-friendly interface is available in the form of the `dpkg' command. . In order to unpack and build Debian source packages you will need to install the developers' package `dpkg-dev' as well as this one. Package: dpkg-dev Section: devel Priority: important Architecture: all Depends: perl5 Recommends: cpio (>= 2.4.2-2), patch (>= 2.2-1), gcc, make Suggests: gnupg, debian-keyring Conflicts: dpkgname Replaces: dpkgname, dpkg (<< 1.4.0), dpkg-doc-ja Description: Package building tools for Debian This package contains the tools (including dpkg-source) required to unpack, build and upload Debian source packages. . `cpio' and `patch' are also required to manipulate source packages. Some older cpios are insufficient - use at least 2.4.2-2. . Most Debian source packages will require additional tools to build - for example, most packages need the `make' and the C compiler `gcc'.
