Control: tag -1 patch pending Ben Hutchings <b...@decadent.org.uk> (2014-09-28): > Package: apt-listchanges > Version: 2.85.13 > Severity: serious > > apt-listchanges now depends on dpkg-dev. As dpkg-dev has lower > priority, that's a technical violation of policy but not one we need > to care *that* much about (and priorities are really set by the FTP > team). > > However, dpkg-dev recommends build-essential. The result is that > dist-upgrading a default installation of wheezy to jessie will install > build-essential, which is definitely not desirable. > > Please find a solution to #733825 that doesn't require > dpkg-architecture. Or, perhaps you could request that > dpkg-architecture is moved to dpkg.
It's actually already done in git: | commit 727881439a796ad72f12dd5ae9efd38340efa8ff | Author: Sandro Tosi <mo...@debian.org> | Date: Sun Mar 30 22:14:54 2014 +0200 | | Use the package's Architecture field when looking for binNMU changelogs. This removes the use of dpkg-architecture and thus the dependency on dpkg-dev. Closes: #733921 http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/apt-listchanges.git/commit/?id=727881439a796ad72f12dd5ae9efd38340efa8ff Mraw, KiBi.
