Package: debhelper Version: 10.5 Severity: serious As of commit 609609f43 ("dh_shlibdeps: Avoid calling file(1) on debug symbols"), dh_shlibdeps skips all files under /usr/lib/debug, although not all of them are detached debug symbols. This leads to the missing-dependency-on-libc lintian error for affected packages which causes ftp-master autorejection unless overriden.
At least ncurses and readline* are affected: $ (for file in /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_*.lz4; do lz4 -dc $file;done) | grep '^usr/lib/debug/lib[^/].*so' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2 | sort -u debug/libncurses5-dbg debug/libncursesw5-dbg debug/libreadline5-dbg debug/libreadline6-dbg debug/libreadline7-dbg debug/libtinfo5-dbg This reminds me that I should fix bug #849003[1], though. ;-) -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.11.7-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii autotools-dev 20161112.1 ii binutils 2.28-6 ii dh-autoreconf 14 ii dh-strip-nondeterminism 0.035-2 ii dpkg 1.18.24 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.24 ii file 1:5.30-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.24 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-2 ii perl 5.24.1-4 ii po-debconf 1.0.20 debhelper recommends no packages.
