Package: dh-elpa Version: 1.15 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
sometimes dh-elpa cannot figure out package dependencies. I've faced this issue while working on a new upstream version of package-lint-el, 0.6. dh-elpa was not able to determine package-lint-flymake.el dependency on package-lint. package-lint-flymake.el contains the followint code: (eval-when-compile (require 'cl-lib)) (require 'flymake) (require 'package-lint) But during the build process I saw the following warning: dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package elpa-package-lint-flymake: substitution variable ${elpa:Depends} used, but is not defined Therefore, elpa-package-lint was not added as a dependency of elpa-package-lint-flymake, so I have to add the dependency manually. You can find package-lint-el repo at https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/package-lint-el Regards, Lev -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dh-elpa depends on: ii debhelper 11.5.3 ii dh-make-perl 0.103 ii emacs 1:25.2+1-11 ii emacs-lucid [emacs] 1:25.2+1-11 ii libarray-utils-perl 0.5-1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.23-1 ii libdebian-source-perl 0.103 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.2 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.10-1 ii perl 5.28.0-3 dh-elpa recommends no packages. dh-elpa suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
