Package: lintian Version: 2.5.79 Severity: normal Hello,
lintian's newly introduced tag mail-transport-agent-dependency-does-not-specify-default-mta warns not only only about "Wants" relationships (i.e. Depends/Recommends/Suggests/Build-Depends) but also about other "Keep Out" relationships (Conflicts/Breaks/Replaces). That does not make sense because the package providing default-mta also must provide mail-transport-agent. In fact it looks like the tag is even triggerd for Provides W: exim4-daemon-heavy: mail-transport-agent-dependency-does-not-specify-default-mta provides: exim4-localscanapi-2.0, mail-transport-agent which is always a false positive. cu Andreas -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.30-5 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.0.5 ii file 1:5.32-2 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-4 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.33 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.60-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.39-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.96-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libperl5.26 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.1-5 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.73-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.24-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.69+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.2-1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.26.1-5 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b4 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.5 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.47-1 -- no debconf information -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
