Hi Andreas, On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 10:27:08AM +0200, Andreas Beckmann wrote: > is this a problem on jessie (and wheezy), too, (the binutils-dev > description says the same thing) or could we tag this bug sid+stretch? That's a good question. I believe that the major reason for that rule is to be able to upload new versions of binutils without breaking reverse dependencies. It seems unlikely that new major versions are uploaded to jessie, so the violation of that rule arguably has less consequences in jessie. Therefore I'd argue that the bug does affect jessie, but it isn't worth fixing there. Now I still don't know whether that tagging is reasonable. Helmut

Hi Helmut, is this a problem on jessie (and wheezy), too, (the binutils-dev description says the same thing) or could we tag this bug sid+stretch? Andreas

Package: lush Version: 1.2.1-9+cvs20110227+nmu1+b4 Severity: grave /usr/bin/lush currently links libbfd dynamically. Since binutils 2.26.1, that library went away but lush's dependency is still satisfied resulting in a broken binary. Dynamically linking libbfd is not allowed (see package description of binutils-dev). Helmut
