The R package's DESCRIPTION might have Depends: rsdmx (>= 0.6) which dh-r will translate to Depends: r-cran-rsdmx (>= 0.6) in debian/control, but that will be satisfied by r-cran-rsdmx r-cran-rsdmx/1:0.5-11+dfsg-1 in the archive. > How can I reproduce the problem? Either find an R package with a versioned dependency on a package with an epoch, or make one by editing an existing package's DESCRIPTION. I had a quick look though the R packages [1] (I know that's not all), but there was only 1 out of 105 package with an epoch. I wonder if the simplest would be for dh-r to hold a table of the packages that have an epoch > 0 as well as the epoch's value, and then simply add the epoch where required. If a package gets an epoch, it only needs to be recorded in one place. [1] https://qa.debian.org/[email protected]
