Package: gdb Version: 7.12-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When the aspcud resolver tries to build rustc in experimental, it selects "gdb-minimal" instead of the actual "gdb" package to resolve rustc's declared "Build-Depends: gdb". This causes rustc's debuginfo-gdb tests to fail, e.g.: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=rustc&arch=amd64&ver=1.17.0%2Bdfsg2-2&stamp=1497385599&raw=0 ctrl-f for "... FAILED" #d-d has suggested that this is a mis-use of the Provides: functionality, because gdb-minimal does *not* in fact provide all of the functionality of gdb. <helmut> infinity0: most likely it should be gdb providing gdb-minimal. In the meantime I'll experiment with Build-Conflicts for rustc, but please consider fixing this in gdb as well.
