Dear all,
Recently autopkgtest changed the way that the needs-recommends
restriction is implemented. That has caused some fall out. One case of
fall out is made apparent by src:libmojolicious-perl. The d/control
file [1] has this:
"""
Recommends: libcpan-meta-yaml-perl,
libcpanel-json-xs-perl,
libev-perl (>= 4.32),
libfuture-asyncawait-perl (>= 0.52) <!nocheck>,
"""
Note that the last line has a *build* profile. Apparently that's
stripped off when the "real" Recommends field is generated, but it
doesn't belong there and it potentially harms tools that process
d/control.
I suggest:
1) libmojolicious-perl fixes its d/control (I'll provide a patch shortly)
2) autopkgtest should become more robust
3) lintian adds a check on this
Thanks for reading
Paul
