Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.19.0.4 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 7.4
Dear dpkg maintainers, it seems that dpkg is in conflict with section 7.4, where the following is stated: A package will not cause a conflict merely because its configuration files are still installed; it must be at least “Half-Installed”. In a clear changelog: $ dpkg -l libunicode-collate-perl .... un libunicode-collate-perl <none> <none> (no description available) $ grep Conflicts debian/control Build-Conflicts: libunicode-collate-perl $ dpkg-checkbuilddeps dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Build conflicts: libunicode-collate-perl $ Thanks Norbert -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-rc8+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii binutils 2.29.1-7 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.4 ii make 4.1-9.1 ii patch 2.7.5-1+b2 ii perl 5.26.1-2 ii tar 1.29b-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii build-essential 12.4 ii clang-3.8 [c-compiler] 1:3.8.1-25 ii fakeroot 1.22-2 ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:7.2.0-1d1 ii gcc-5 [c-compiler] 5.5.0-4 ii gcc-6 [c-compiler] 6.4.0-9 ii gcc-7 [c-compiler] 7.2.0-14 ii gnupg 2.2.2-1 ii gnupg2 2.2.2-1 ii gpgv 2.2.2-1 ii libalgorithm-merge-perl 0.08-3 Versions of packages dpkg-dev suggests: ii debian-keyring 2017.08.28 -- no debconf information
