Package: chmlib
Version: 0.35-6
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.2, 8.4, 8.5
Attempting to build chmlib produces the warnings
# for chmlib
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${misc:Depends}
# for chmlib-bin
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${misc:Depends}
# for chmlib-dev
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${misc:Depends}
In the case of chmlib-dev, the result is no Depends header altogether
(due to the empty entry in front) as a consequence of dpkg-dev bug
#228125. :-/ As such, I'd suggest dropping the undefined substvars
and versioning chmlib-dev's dependency on chmlib per Policy 8.5, yielding
Package: chmlib
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Package: chmlib-bin
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, chmlib
Package: chmlib-dev
Depends: chmlib (= ${Source-Version})
which seems to yield reasonable results on my system. (Incidentally,
you should probably also arrange for chmlib-bin to see chmlib's shlibs
file so you don't have to specify the dependency explicitly, but
that's another matter and not so important.)
Thanks.
