Package: curves Version: 0.8.19 Severity: serious User: lintian-ma...@debian.org Usertags: depends-on-build-essential-package-without-using-version
The package declares a depends on a build essential package without using a versioned depends. Packages do not have to build-depend on any package included in build-essential. It is the responsibility of anyone building packages to have all build-essential packages installed. The only reason for an explicit dependency on a package included in build-essential is if a particular version of that package is required, in which case the dependency should include the version. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.2 (Package relationships) for details. Filed as serious, since this will currently have this package rejected. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/10/msg00004.html for details. manoj -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.4-anzu-2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages curves depends on: ii libc6 2.10.1-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.2-1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 curves recommends no packages.
