Package: lintian Version: 2.2.17 Severity: normal Hi dear lintian Maintainers.
we discovered an lintian error in the ffmpeg package and I would like you to ask for advice on this issue: Andres Mejia <mcita...@gmail.com> writes: > Have you seen the latest lintian problems? > http://lintian.debian.org/full/pkg-multimedia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org.html#ffmpeg Andreas is talking about this error: E: weak-library-dev-dependency libavutil-dev on libavutil49 (>= ${binary:Version}) | libavutil-unstripped-49 (>= ${binary:Version}) libavutil-dev on libavutil49 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) | libavutil-unstripped-49 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) libavcodec-dev on libavcodec52 (>= ${binary:Version}) | libavcodec-unstripped-52 (>= ${binary:Version}) libavcodec-dev on libavcodec52 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) | libavcodec-unstripped-52 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) libavdevice-dev on libavdevice52 (>= ${binary:Version}) | libavdevice-unstripped-52 (>= ${binary:Version}) libavdevice-dev on libavdevice52 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) | libavdevice-unstripped-52 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) libavformat-dev on libavformat52 (>= ${binary:Version}) | libavformat-unstripped-52 (>= ${binary:Version}) libavformat-dev on libavformat52 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) | libavformat-unstripped-52 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) libavfilter-dev on libavfilter0 (>= ${binary:Version}) | libavfilter-unstripped-0 (>= ${binary:Version}) libavfilter-dev on libavfilter0 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) | libavfilter-unstripped-0 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) libpostproc-dev on libpostproc51 (>= ${binary:Version}) | libpostproc-unstripped-51 (>= ${binary:Version}) libpostproc-dev on libpostproc51 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) | libpostproc-unstripped-51 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) libswscale-dev on libswscale0 (>= ${binary:Version}) | libswscale-unstripped-0 (>= ${binary:Version}) libswscale-dev on libswscale0 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) | libswscale-unstripped-0 (<= ${source:Upstream-Version}-99) I think this is an false positive. Let me explain: - there exists 2 flavors of ffmpeg. One is the regular set of packages, these can be found in the debian archive. Then there is an set of extra packages that are built against libraries that are currently not in debian. They are marked with -unstripped- in this lintian report, but this has already been changed to -extra- in git. - Both sets are supposed to be ABI compatible. - the version numbers of these package sets do no necessarily need to be kept in sync. They are different uploads and keeping them in sync is difficult. In this situation, I think the error is overexaggeratd. What do you as lintian maintainer think about this? Shall we add an override, or do you think that lintian should be changed here? If the former, please reassing and retitle this bug appropriately. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
