Source: heaptrack Version: 1.0.0-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
it seems that the 'heaptrack' binary package (and 'heaptrack-gui' as well) misses a dependency on libheaptrack. both have no automatic dependency on the library, because they are not directly using it (so dpkg-shlibdeps misses the dep). instead the main purpose f the binaries provided by both packages is to inject libheaptrack into a target binary (by use of LD_PRELOAD). however, for this to work libheaptrack *must* be installed. you might insist that a strict dependency ("Depends") is not necessary, and that there are usecases for having heaptrack(-gui) installed without libheaptrack. but even in this case, a "Recommends" would be the appropriate relationship (see policy ยง7.2: "The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations"). -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information
