Package: devscripts Version: 2.13.4 Severity: important When I run rc-alert on my system which I know has some packages with RC bugs it does not report anything. The same applies if one of the RC buggy packages is explicitly selected on the command line. For example, "rc-alert clc-intercal" does not report any bugs even though there is a a bug against the source pacakge.
Since packages are uploaded and maintained by source this means that rc-alert fails to fulfil a key role and alert people if a package they have installed is RC buggy. -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.11-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.17.1 ii libc6 2.17-93 ii perl 5.18.1-4 ii python3 3.3.2-17 pn python3:any <none> Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.14-1 ii curl 7.33.0-1 ii dctrl-tools 2.23 ii debian-keyring 2013.07.31 ii dput 0.9.6.4 ii equivs 2.0.9 ii fakeroot 1.20-1 ii gnupg 1.4.15-1.1 ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.58-1+b1 ii libdistro-info-perl 0.11 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.03-1 ii libjson-perl 2.61-1 ii libparse-debcontrol-perl 2.005-4 ii libsoap-lite-perl 0.716-1 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii libwww-perl 6.05-1 ii lintian 2.5.19 ii man-db 2.6.5-2 ii patch 2.7.1-3 ii patchutils 0.3.2-2 ii python3-debian 0.1.21+nmu2 ii python3-magic 1:5.14-2 ii sensible-utils 0.0.9 ii strace 4.5.20-2.3 ii unzip 6.0-10 ii wdiff 1.2.1-1 ii wget 1.14-4 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20131005cvs-1 ii build-essential 11.6 pn cvs-buildpackage <none> pn devscripts-el <none> pn gnuplot <none> ii gpgv 1.4.15-1.1 ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1500-1 pn libfile-desktopentry-perl <none> ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.01-3 pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 pn libyaml-syck-perl <none> ii mutt 1.5.21-6.4 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.2p2-6 pn svn-buildpackage <none> ii w3m 0.5.3-12 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
