[Inkscape-user] 0.44: 'Build-dependencies for inkscape could not be satisfied'?

Hi all, I was trying to build the new Inkscape 0.44pre4 using the advice at:

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingDebian

"Oh cool" , I thought -- I didn't think of using Debian's system to install the dependencies. But then...

samwise:/project/Packages# apt-get build-dep inkscape Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Build-dependencies for inkscape could not be satisfied.

I get the same results for '-t testing', '-t stable', and '-t unstable', too.

So it kind of looks like the Inkscape dependencies have package breakage at the moment?

Any advice on how to proceed?

Does this mean I'm going to have to install a lot of deps from source?

I'm just kind of rusty at this stuff, I'm afraid.
