I think my Ubuntu chroots could contain obsolete packages if those did not get
automatically updated. The chroots are up-to-date, but it could still be a
problem as I ran into this with Debian unstable where I had libgnutls11
locally, but libgnutls13 in the pbuilder. Since 13 is not an upgrade but a
different tree it wasn't updated and a locally built package would depend on
11 while a package built with pbuilder would depend on libgnutls13.

Anyway, I think it's a chroot problem on my side. I should delete and rebuild
all my chroots or go through all scribus dependencies, direct and indirect,
and upgrade them one by one to alleviate this problem. Or I should completely
switch to pbuilder.
