Package: make-guile Version: 4.2.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch debhelper recently added "Depends: make (>= 4~)" so that it can use make's -O switch. If someone has make-guile installed, rather than make, they will currently be unable to upgrade debhelper, since make-guile Provides/Conflicts/Replaces make but doesn't use a versioned Provides. Therefore, it can't satisfy a versioned Depends.
The attached patch causes make-guile to "Provides: make (= ${source:Version})" so that it can satisfy versioned Depends. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages make-guile depends on: ii guile-2.0-libs 2.0.13+1-5 ii libc6 2.26-6 ii libgc1c2 1:7.4.2-8.1 make-guile recommends no packages.
