Package: libdb++-dev
Version: 5.1.4
Severity: important
I believe the main use of this -dev package is as build-dependency for
other packages. But that is of no use when it is a virtual package:
Now, when I switched to using this package for bitcoind, I get the
following lintian warning:
W: bitcoin source: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends
build-depends: libdb++-dev
As I see it, there are only three ways to deal with such warning:
a) Silence it (and ignore Debian Policy, so that's bad)
b) Avoid this -dev package and only build-depend on real ones
c) Convince you to provide this as a real package instead
Kind regards,
- Jonas

Umm...
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libdb++-dev
:)
The lintian warning will be probably fixed when db/5.1.25-10 finally
hits testing.
