Finally beginning to understand the flow here - all of the debian packages for pbuilder [& cowbuilder?] are being pulled down from ubuntu to /var/cache/pbuilder/aptcache and the following, old packages for findlib/ocamlfind are:
libfindlib-ocaml_1.4-2_armhf.deb
libfindlib-ocaml-dev_1.4-2_armhf.deb
ocaml-findlib_1.4-2_armhf.deb
and what is needed to deal with 'bytes' issue, I suspect, are the latest:
libfindlib-ocaml-dev_1.4.1-1_armhf.deb
libfindlib-ocaml_1.4.1-1_armhf.deb
ocaml-findlib_1.4.1-1_armhf.deb
I pulled down the latest ones are cunningly tried to replace the old files, but those canny signatures caused the real packages to be re-downloaded.
This is a real show-stopper :(
Can you think of any way that this can be circumvented?
Cheers
Nick
