Package: devscripts Version: 2.18.6 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
Running mk-build-deps for a package without Build-Depends or
Build-Depends-Indep fields in its control file, here leads to mk-build-deps
exiting non-succesfully and printing
mk-build-deps: Unable to find build-deps for uruk
. I'd expect it to generate a uruk-build-deps_20181005-1_all.deb with just
build-essential:amd64 as Depends and exit succesfully. Printing a warning
it is doing just that would be useful.
This trivial patch for mk-build-deps.pl as in git today does this:
