Package: lintian Version: 2.5.21 Followup-For: Bug #733733 lintian is confused by additional ":any" added to the package name of dependency check logic. Please allow additional ":any" to be added.
Here is my case: After realizing python3-all is one of the few new M-A:allowed packages, I put python3-all:any as build dependency for my arch:all package which does not have any fancy architecture specific bits, lintian started to complaining as: E: debmake source: missing-build-dependency-for-dh-addon python3 => python3 | python3-all | python3-dev | python3-all-dev N: N: The source package appears to be using a dh addon but doesn't build N: depend on the package that actually provides it. If it uses it, it must N: build depend on it. N: N: Severity: important, Certainty: possible N: N: Check: debhelper, Type: source N: E: debmake source: missing-python-build-dependency N: N: The package appears to use Python as part of its build process in N: debian/rules but doesn't depend on Python. N: N: Normally, packages that use Python as part of the build process should N: build-depend on one of python, python-all, python-dev, or python-all-dev N: depending on whether they support multiple versions of Python and N: whether they're building modules or only using Python as part of the N: package build process. Packages that depend on a specific version of N: Python may build-depend on the appropriate pythonX.Y or pythonX.Y-dev N: package instead. N: N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.2 (Package relationships) for N: details. N: N: Severity: important, Certainty: certain N: N: Check: rules, Type: source N: by changing "python3-all:any" to "python3-all" stops above false positive messages. Regards, Osamu PS: Only python* and cpp packages are the MA:allowed packages. You may also check "cpp" related check logic. There is only one package having "cpp:any" at this moment. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.24-2 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii diffstat 1.58-1 ii file 1:5.14-2 ii gettext 0.18.3.1-2 ii hardening-includes 2.5 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.30-7 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.36-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.5 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.192-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.03-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-1+b2 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.06~01-2 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-1 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii man-db 2.6.5-3 ii patchutils 0.3.2-3 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.18.2-2 ii t1utils 1.37-2 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.22-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-1+b3 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.18.2-2 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.17.5 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b1 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 ii libyaml-perl 0.84-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
