Thanks for the report. I’m at a loss as to how to fix the issue, though.
While Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts internally can distinguish between installed and virtual packages, its check_package method is deprecated and emits a warning. I can see no other way to access the fact whether a package is virtual or not. Am I missing something here? Should I be using a different module altogether? I can’t find any other implementation of Built-Using in Debian Code Search either. Do you know of one that I haven’t seen?
