[Aptitude-devel] Bug#888469: aptitude: build-dep gmime fails

[=]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.7-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I wanted to build gmime from source

I tried (on the shell command-line):

    aptitude build-dep gmime

and got an error message:

    Unable to satisfy the build-depends: Build-Depends: libgpgme11-dev
    Unable to apply some actions, aborting

I then tried

    apt-get build-dep gmime

it completed successfully

"aptitude build-dep gmime" still gives the same error message.
