Package: python3-cffi-backend Version: 1.2.1-1 Severity: important Justification: Policy § 7.5
Dear Maintainer,
Packages python-cffi-backend and python3-cffi-backend currently have
versioned Provides field:
$ apt-cache show python3-cffi-backend | grep ^Provides
Provides: python3-cffi-backend-api-9729, python3-cffi-backend-api-max (=
9983), python3-cffi-backend-api-min (= 9729)
^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^
These provides are generated in debian/gen-backend-versions.py at lines 39-40.
However, the Policy § 7.5 (Virtual packages - Provides) [1] says:
| A Provides field may not contain version numbers, and the version number of
| the concrete package which provides a particular virtual package will not be
| considered when considering a dependency on or conflict with the virtual
| package name.
