You are talking about: E: mariadb-10.0 source: missing-build-dependency dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1~) Isn't this a bug in Lintian? The package dpkg-dev is part of build-essential and there should not be any need to specify it. Why does Lintian add the version number, what is special about 1.16.1~ ? The package builds ok on sid, wheezy, trusty and precise, which most have older dpkg-dev than those. The changelog of dpkg-dev has under 1.16.1 from September 2011: * dpkg-buildflags now returns hardening flags by default. Closes: #489771 They can be individually enabled/disabled via DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS, see dpkg-buildflags(1). Thanks to Kees Cook for his help. I did the commit http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mariadb-10.0.git/commit/?id=f577ead67affc143989b1373b8a15a2824805033 to replace the old hardening-wrapper, because Lintian complained that perfectly well working system was deprecated. What does Lintian want me here, to specify a versioned dpkg-dev dependency on a version that has been in Debian for over 3 years? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
