Description

On the "how to build on Linux and *BSD" page we have a section on prerequisities/dependencies on Debian or Ubuntu distributions. It says:

apt-get install git build-essential zip ccache junit4 libkrb5-dev nasm graphviz python3 python3-dev qtbase5-dev libkf5coreaddons-dev libkf5i18n-dev libkf5config-dev libkf5windowsystem-dev libkf5kio-dev autoconf libcups2-dev libfontconfig1-dev gperf default-jdk doxygen libxslt1-dev xsltproc libxml2-utils libxrandr-dev libx11-dev bison flex libgtk-3-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev ant ant-optional libnss3-dev libavahi-client-dev libXt-dev

... however, Debian Bookwork / Devuan Daedalus does not have a libXt-dev package. There's libxt-dev - is that the one you meant? Perhaps the package name changed at some point?

Closing since it's not an infra issue :-P The page you're linking to is a wiki page that is not maintained by the infrastructure team; feel free to update it yourself.

Per ยง5.6.1 of the Debian Policy package names can't contain upper case letters so I'm pretty sure it's meant to be all lowercase, yup. IIRC APT used to lowercase its arguments but it appears not to be the case anymore.
