Package: lintian Version: 2.2.16 Severity: normal Hi,
trying to run lintian on evolution-data-server_2.28.0-1_amd64.changes I get weird errors: cor...@hidalgo: lintian -i evolution-data-server_2.28.0-1_amd64.changes E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libcamel1.2-dev on libedataserver1.2-dev N: N: The given package appears to be a shared library -dev package, but the N: dependency on what seems to be a corresponding shared library package N: does not force the same package version. To ensure that compiling and N: linking works properly, and that the symlinks in the -dev package point N: to the correct files in the shared library package, a -dev package N: should normally depend on the exact same version of the shared library N: package. N: N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 8.5 (Dependencies between the N: packages of the same library) for details. N: N: Severity: important, Certainty: possible N: E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libebook1.2-dev on libedataserver1.2-dev E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libedataserverui1.2-dev on libedataserver1.2-dev E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libedataserverui1.2-dev on libebook1.2-dev E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libedata-book1.2-dev on libedataserver1.2-dev E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libedata-book1.2-dev on libebackend1.2-dev E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libedata-book1.2-dev on libebook1.2-dev E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libecal1.2-dev on libedataserver1.2-dev E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libedata-cal1.2-dev on libedataserver1.2-dev E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libedata-cal1.2-dev on libecal1.2-dev E: evolution-data-server source: weak-library-dev-dependency libedata-cal1.2-dev on libebackend1.2-dev N: 17 tags overridden (2 errors, 15 warnings) libcamel1.2-dev and libedataserver1.2-dev (and following examples) are not the same library and both are -dev packages so I don't think the error is accurate. Is there a problem in lintian or am I missing something?
