That information would have been useful in your first post.

I wasn't sure this had anything to do with it. With or without the package installed this problem is still the same. But you're right this information might have been useful! Do you know how the list with essential packages can be extended?

Not sure what you mean here.

E: xbmc source: depends-on-build-essential-package-without-using-version make [build-depends: make]
E: xbmc source: depends-on-build-essential-package-without-using-version g++ [build-depends: g++]
E: xbmc source: depends-on-build-essential-package-without-using-version gcc [build-depends: gcc]

The command:

Code:

grep-status -FEssential -sPackage -ni yes

outputs a list with packages (see second post). I noticed that make, g++, gcc are not listed in there. Maybe this is the problem?

I'm 99% confident you have those packages installed already,as you showed earlier that build-essential is installed.
You can check with:

Code:

dpkg -l | grep make

And do the same with the other packages.

I don't think so,i'd say the bug report suggests otherwise.
