Package: lintian Version: 2.116.3 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: ka...@mit.edu
I maintain openafs, which for some time has been reporting an error-level diagnostic from lintian for missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command ("dh_dkms (does not satisfy dkms:any | dh-sequence-dkms:any) [debian/rules]"). Having done a little bit of looking, I currently think this is a false positive, since the dh_dkms invocation is contained within the override_dh_install-indep target, and dh-dkms is present in Build-Depends-Indep. (But maybe the reasoning cited in #901507 about 'clean' usage applies? I do not think it does, but could be missing something.) I see the list of build_prerequisites_norestriction being built in Debhelper.pm by a call to relation_norestriction(), and the documntation for relation_norestriction() says that it ignores architecture restrictions and build profile restrictions. Given that Debhelper.pm treats both -arch and -indep as possible "focus" values (i.e., equivalent levels of scope), it seems to me that when compiling its list of build_prerequisites_norestriction, we should ignore not only architecture restrictions but the -All vs -Indep distinction. I guess this would be a one-line patch (concatenate relation_norestriction('Build-Depends-All') and relation_norestriction('Build-Depends-Indep') but figure a bug report is a better place to talk about what the correct behavior is than a pull request. -Ben -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.6.8-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.41.50.20231227-1 ii bzip2 1.0.8-5+b1 ii diffstat 1.65-1 ii dpkg 1.22.2 ii dpkg-dev 1.22.2 ii file 1:5.45-2 ii gettext 0.21-14 ii gpg 2.2.40-1.1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.6 ii iso-codes 4.15.0-1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.40+b2 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libberkeleydb-perl 0.64-2+b1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-2 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-4+b1 ii libclone-perl 0.46-1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.30-1 ii libconst-fast-perl 0.014-2 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.37-1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.59-1 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.10-1.1 ii libdata-validate-uri-perl 0.07-2 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-2+b1 pn libdigest-sha-perl <none> ii libdpkg-perl 1.22.2 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.05-1+b1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.09-2 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-3 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-2 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-3 ii libhtml-tokeparser-simple-perl 3.16-4 ii libio-interactive-perl 1.025-1 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.048-3 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004005-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-2 ii liblist-someutils-perl 0.59-1 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.12-2 ii libmldbm-perl 2.05-4 ii libmoo-perl 2.005005-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-2 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-2 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.144-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.20-1+b1 ii libperlio-utf8-strict-perl 0.010-1 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.636-1 ii libregexp-wildcards-perl 1.05-3 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 5.004+ds-1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 5.004+ds-1 ii libsort-versions-perl 1.62-3 ii libsyntax-keyword-try-perl 0.29-1 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.38-2+b1 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-5+b1 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.16-1 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.9-1+b2 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-2 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-2+b1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-2 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-2 ii liburi-perl 5.21-1 ii libwww-mechanize-perl 2.17-1 ii libwww-perl 6.72-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0207+dfsg+really+2.0134-1+b1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.86+ds-1 ii lzip [lzip-decompressor] 1.23-6 ii lzop 1.04-2 ii man-db 2.12.0-1 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libencode-perl] 5.36.0-10 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-28 ii xz-utils 5.4.5-0.3 lintian recommends no packages.
