I may have to give a summary of the history so far: as pointed in this  
thread, every thing was fine, except for AUnit, which could be compiled,  
but which gave me errors as soon as I wanted to build an AUnit  
application. I did not want a more difficult solution, I just wanted AUnit  
working.

I tried, as you suggested, to install a Debian Sid within a chroot  
environement, which was not better: there is either libaunit3, which does  
not come with required AUnit files such as aunit.gpr, or either  
libaunit1-dev, which provides a aunit.gpr among others required files, but  
which unfortunately depends on GNAT 4.4... and bahm, conflict.

As this thread seems to drive you a bit nervous (a guess from your  
wordings), I will not tell more here, about future evolution of the story,  
to help keep the climate here, peaceful.

Except just a last side note: I've submitted today a bug report to Debian,  
about some wrong things with a GCC source package from Debian Testing. I  
straight away get a reply asserting I did not applied the required patches  
(but I did), and the report was invalidated (did they really tested ?).  
Interestingly, a similar report was submitted to FSF too, by someone else,  
few months ago, the exact same. Was rejected too and not taken into  
account for some other excuses (that's probably why the bug is still there  
months after), pretending the bug does not exist (while multiple people on  
the web have testified of the same bug). If really the Open Source world  
want people to submit bug reports, one good idea may be to acknowledge bug  
reports, may be as long time pending bug if there is no other way. Always  
the same stories, either excuses to not take the bug into account, either  
excuse like "it's not a bug, it's a feature", and so on. Finished with bug  
reports for me. As that seems to serve nothing in any places, I will not  
bother any more now. Just saying this here as I know you are a Debian  
maintainer, if ever that can help you and your colleagues understand why  
many people don't bother submitting bug reports.
