Package: r-cran-bh Severity: normal Hi,
when I tried to build r-cran-rstan version 2.18.1 which is LinkingTo BH (>= 1.66) I failed when building against r-cran-bh. I think r-cran-bh should reflect the version of libboost which is really pulled in. When depending from libboost-dev this is currently only boost 1.62. So while the versioned Build-Depends of r-cran-rstan on (>= 1.66) seems to be fullfilled it is not in reality. This could be solved by the following patch: diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index bd0df4b..e612ed2 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +r-cran-bh (1.67.0-0.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium + + * Non-maintainer upload. + * Make sure libboost version matches version of r-cran-bh + + -- Andreas Tille <ti...@debian.org> Thu, 18 Oct 2018 11:12:10 +0200 + r-cran-bh (1.66.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial metapackage (Closes: # 819389) diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index a6114be..a98b487 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ Homepage: https://cran.r-project.org/package=BH Package: r-cran-bh Architecture: all Multi-Arch: foreign -Depends: ${misc:Depends}, libboost-dev +Depends: ${misc:Depends}, libboost1.67-dev Description: (Virtual) GNU R package to provide BH The CRAN package BH provides a (large) subset of Boost.
