I don't always have the time, as I didn't have much in the last few
weeks, and with my miserable "broadband" took me the best of an hour to
get the system to an up-to-date state today.  In the weeks in between,
perhaps things changed, so it's difficult to solve things in this way...


Anyway, the basic problem today seems to be that:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy : Depends: php-mail-mimedecode which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

This is because the package has been removed:

  https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/php-mail-mimedecode/news/20160502T014605Z.html

When trying to compile the package in cowbuilder, the output of this bit
looks like it's truncated (the last-but-one line):

=============================
Unpacking pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy (0.invalid.0) ...
dpkg: pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested:
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy depends on debhelper (>= 9); however:
  Package debhelper is not installed.
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy depends on pkg-php-tools (>= 1.14~); however:
  Package pkg-php-tools is not installed.
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy depends on dh-linktree; however:
  Package dh-linktree is not installed.
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy depends on fonts-font-awesome; however:
  Package fonts-font-awesome is not installed.
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy depends on libjs-angularjs; however:
  Package libjs-angularjs is not installed.
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy depends on libjs-backbone; however:
  Package libjs-backbone is not installed.
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy depends on libjs-d3; however:
  Package libjs-d3 is not installed.
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy depends on libjs-jquery (>= 1.11.3~); however:
  Package libjs-jquery is not installed.
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy depends on l
Setting up pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy (0.invalid.0) ...
=============================
			 
I reported this informally to pbuilder and dpkg, I am not sure about
what's going on, but looks suspicious.

Probably if this was complete there would be a clue about why
php-gettext doesn't get pulled.


Cheers.
