PPA: x depends on y but it is not going to be installed

[Markus Kilås <digital@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm new to Launchpad and making Ubuntu packages but I have managed to
create a source package and uploaded it to my PPA.

I get error messages saying that gnome-sharp2 is missing but I have
checked at http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/ which says that there is
such a package.

Also I get error messages saying that gnome-sharp2 depends on
gnome-sharp2-examples "but it is not going to be installed". What does
that mean? Do I also have to specify gnome-sharp2's own dependencies in
the control-file?

I have tried to follow this guide: https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart

Is there any other documentation available which explains how the
building works?
