I have been following the tutorial 6. Packaging New Software on how to create an ubuntu/debian package. I have successfully managed the hello example, but I have been having some problems with my own shared library package.
I have successfully build the package by running the following command:
bzr builddeb -- -us -uc
However when I try and build the package with pbuilder-dist (which is suppose to mimic the conditions of a fresh distribution) I get an error related to missing libraries that my package depends on. I run:
pbuilder-dist trusty build libnpregression_1.0-0ubuntu1.dsc
and get:
debian/rules build
dh build
dh_testdir
dh_auto_configure

It seems that pbuilder-dist did not install those dependencies (armadillo, flann and boost).
What confuses me is that these dependencies are specified in the debian/control file:
Source: libnpregression
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Guillaume de Chambrier <chambrierg@gmail.com>
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), cmake
Standards-Version: 3.9.5

I would appreciate any help in solving my pbuilder-dist build dependency problem. I am quite new to packaging debian projects.
