Package: lintian Version: 1.23.24 Severity: important A recent upload of QOF included two new packages. The main library is dependent on at least one of these new packages being installed and is Priority: optional. However, I inadvertently put the two new packages as Priority: extra and lintian did NOT complain. When the upload was made, the two new binaries raised a Debcheck error:
Binary Package: libqof1 (Version: 0.7.1-1) Priority According to Policy Section 2.5: Priorities packages MUST NOT depend on packages with lower priority values (excluding build-time dependencies). In order to ensure this, the priorities of one or more packages must be adjusted. Package is optional and has a Depends on libqof-backend-qsf0 (within libqof-backend-qsf0 | libqof-backend-sqlite0) which is extra on mips. etc. I have since built and my sponsor has uploaded 0.7.1-2 which corrects the settings in the debian/control file for qof before the Debcheck becomes an RC bug. Despite the Debcheck page being created, the online lintian page indicates no lintian errors in 0.7.1-1. Lintian should make sure that errors like this are caught in future because 2.5 is a 'must' in Policy. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.17-2 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.43-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.13.22 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.17-3 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.15-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchangelog 1.0-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii man-db 2.4.3-3 The on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5-perl 5.8.8-6.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
