I downloaded the root-system_.dsc and related files and tried to build on AMD64 platform. I failed in the following errors:

Hi,
so … there is a missing library requirement in debian rules.
Sorry, but I had no time to test the rules in a clean system.
So for the moment, you can install these packages:
libavahi-core-dev
libavahi-core7

and the problem is “fixed”.

I’ll update the rules as soon as possible and I’ll provide new version of pcakges.

Cheers,
Antonio
