Dear Jakub and Debian-QA team, Could somebody look into the assertions shared by Alec Leamas . It's possible that it might be a false positive by adequate. It's equally possible that the Package maintainer needs to do the changes so that adequate doesn't flag them as obsolete. As I'm no programmer/no coder, this is above my pay-grade. Could somebody look into it and see what the issue is. If there are any simple commands or something which I should have used to dig more please share those as well so I could use them the next time something similar comes around. Looking forward to see the issue fixed one way or the other. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
