Hi, Assume I have a source package foo. foo-1 build-depends on bar. No I upload foo-2, which does not build-depend on bar. It gets built on most architectures, but now slow-arch. So because foo-1’s binaries are still present on slow-arch, foo-1 is also still present in the archive, for policy reasons. Now I want to remove bar. dak rm -R will complain that foo still build-depends on bar. But that is only due to foo-1, something that we do not want to build again anymore anyways, and that is only there to fulfill the policy! I propose that in the utils.check_reverse_depends() function, such sources (i.e. sources where a newer version is present in the archive) are ignored. Thanks, Joachim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlWnpRsACgkQ9ijrk0dDIGy3nQCgto+TUvXMbh6tStWbhJheFECZ itEAn0lfoR1g5CxklglvyANEt9iGoZg1 =+EUJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
