Package: wireless-tools Version: 27+28pre14-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch, d-i
Let's call this an important wishlist bug (important for Debian Installer
anyway :-)
Please add the following line to your shlibs file:
udeb: libiw 28 libiw28-udeb (>= 27+28pre13)
This will allow dpkg/debhelper to properly set the dependencies for udebs
that depend on libiw28.
Please see #345472 and #345475 for further info on this.
It would be very much appreciated if this change could be implemented
soon.
The attached patch implements the necessary changes:
- add the line in debian/libiw28.shlibs
- use Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} for both udebs
- debhelper 5.0.22 is required for correct new udeb dependency handling
- drop the Provides: libiw28
This does change the dependencies for both udebs a bit, but AFAICT these
changes should be OK.
You may want to update debhelper compatibility level to 5, in line with
the debhelper dependency. (BTW: the use of a debian/compat file is
prefered over setting it in debian/rules.)
I've checked the debdiff for all packages against current versions and
there were no unexpected changes.
TIA,
Frans Pop

if the new --add-udeb option is used. But as you currently don't use
dh_makeshlibs, I've not used that option.
