Package: lintian Version: 1.24.2 Severity: normal Running lintian on libc6 from experimental I get:
W: libc6: shlibs-declares-dependency-on-other-package libc6 (>= 2.8) N: N: This package declares in its shlibs control file a dependency on some N: other package (and not one listed in the Provides of this package). N: N: Packages should normally only list in their shlibs control file the N: shared libraries included in that package, and therefore the N: dependencies listed there should normally be satisfied by either the N: package itself or one of its Provides. N: N: In unusual circumstances where it's necessary to declare more complex N: dependencies in the shlibs control file, please add a lintian override N: for this warning. N: N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 8.6 for details. N: But as said by lintian, shlibs from *libc6* declares a dependency on *libc6*. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.45-2 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.20 Debian package development tools ii file 4.25-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-3 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchan 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.2-2 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha 5.10.0-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
