E: Broken packages
I have just tried to have a look at this one.
Unfortunately, I did not understand well the packaging:
1/ there seems to be a typo in debian/control:
Depends: ${perl:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, liblocale-maketext-perl,
libkwiki-perl (>= 0.36-2)
Provides: libcgi-kwiki-perl
The new package is first called libkwiki-perl and then
libcgi-kwiki-perl. Moreover, it is not defined in debian/control :(
2/ kwiki seems to be a transition package as said in debian/changelog:
* Compatibility package to enable gentler transition between
old-style kwiki and new-style kwiki, also ensuring that new
users don't accidentally get into old-style kwiki.
and in the description:
This package is here to make sure people don't accidentally
start new Kwikis using the old-style CGI::Kwiki system.
.
If you are starting a new Kwiki, you DO NOT NEED this
package. Install the libkwiki-perl package instead.
3/ however, it doesn't use the classical way to make a smooth
transition, that is to say defining a dummy package kwiki depending on
the new libkwiki-perl package that replaces kwiki and conflicts kwiki.
4/ I have tried to make a submittable patch, but I noticed that 0.36-1
was using upstream's 0.18 release (I may have been mistaken).
As far as I am concerned, I thus think that this package is an
incomplete transition package. Did I misunderstood something?
The fact that the new replacement package was rejected by ftpmaster, and
I haven't completed repackaging yet. I'm working on it.
Cheers,
Nick
