If I want to build a deb package that depends on itself for building then it fails.

I assumed it was being removed by build or osc but traced it to the API response.

eg: https://api.opensuse.org/build/home:lbt:arm:cross/xUbuntu_9.04/armv5el/m4/_b... https://api.opensuse.org/build/home:lbt:arm:cross/xUbuntu_9.04/armv5el/dpkg/...

Both m4 and dpkg-dev are build-essential

The first (m4) package does not have m4 in the <bdep> list but has dpkg-dev The second (dpkg) package does not have dpkg-dev in the <bdep> list but has m4 (dpkg provides dpkg-dev of course)

This bites when building any package in build-essential or any other package that self build-depends; they all need modifying to build on OBS.

That's a bug in the project configuration, the essential packages have to be listed as "keep". I'll fix that. (Self build-depends should work, if not it's another bug...)

Thanks, Michael.
