Package: pypy-lib
Version: 5.3.1+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
aptitude complains about the Provides line for pypy-lib:
W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package pypy-cffi
W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package
pypy-cffi-backend-api-max
W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package
pypy-cffi-backend-api-min
W: You may want to update the package lists to correct these missing files
Provides defines virtual packages, and those do not (and cannot as
it wouldn't make sense) carry version numbers.
§ 7.5 of the policy says:
A Provides field may not contain version numbers
which is why I am filing this bug report RC…
