Yea. I figured that out after a while. Unfortunately Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) doesn't have an appropriate version in the repository. I had to downgrade to 8.04 to make it all work. I'm "borrowing" some intrepid packages though. I have compiled and created new lighttpd 1.4.20 packages that include all current features. I also did a 1.5 pre-release package. The 1.5.x branch may have a new dependency on glib but I placed it under suggest until I know it will be needed for runtime. The package is marked as experimental but does compile cleanly.
