Hi, Yep, you are right, at some point (probably my fault), we lose the correct depends. Will release a new version with the fixes as soon as possible.
About interpreter support, I can't remember, but at some point I disabled it because it was not working. Will try to re-enable it again (https://salsa.debian.org/deiv/crystal/-/commit/329e1a0b7046b21eeb04efbb20e0a8c4e8a89c1a). In relation to shards, yep I have it in my TODO to package it, as my free time allows me. Thanks for pointing out the problems ! :) El lun, 7 ago 2023 a las 21:09, Beta (<b...@manas.tech>) escribió: > > Package: crystal > Version: 1.9.2+dfsg > Severity: important > X-Debbugs-Cc: b...@manas.tech > > Dear Maintainer, > > It was [brought to our > > attention](https://forum.crystal-lang.org/t/whats-up-with-the-debian-packages/5913) > that the official debian package for crystal 1.9.2+dfsg-1 is not > usable as is, as it is not requiring the libevent-dev library. > > Let me say upfront that I understand that the issue is likely dragged > from the previous version of the package (1.6.2+dfsg-1 IIRC).
