What a weird dependency name, clam-devel should be libclam1.4-dev or at it 
most virtual libclam-dev. Fixed on subversion. I wont regenerate packages 
until i have some spare time. Anyway, it is unlikely you need such a package. 
You can just use the plugins from the network editor without the -dev package.

yep, that's another typo in the script i sent you. The source package in the 
'for/in' sentence should be clam-networkeditor not clam-network.

Yep, that missing package is generated by teh clam-networkeditor source. As 
you get it compiled then this one should work as well.

No problem. Thank you for the report. It is helping to get a cleaner package 
building and installation. Cheers.

David.
