** Description changed:
+ [ Description ]
+
+ dh_installxfonts in some cases substitutes a dependency on 'xfont-utils'
+ into ${misc:Depends}. This package doesn't exist; the resulting .deb is
+ uninstallable.
+
+ [ Test case ]
+
+ Rebuild 'thaixfonts' on bionic and check that the packages depend on
+ 'xfonts-utils' and not 'xfont-utils'.
+
+ [ Regression potential ]
+
+ If the patch is still wrong, we'll still generate uninstallable
+ packages. If it's really wrong we could break the build.
+
+ [ Original report ]
+
The debhelper shipped with 18.04 contains a typo that generates the wrong
dependency when using dh_installxfonts in a package build. There is already a
patch from the developer that introduced the typo available in Debian
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=894835
The effect of this bug can be seen when trying to install a PPA package built
in the build farm. See
