Package: libcppunit-dev Version: 1.14.0-3 Severity: important
Hello, The file /usr/share/aclocal/cppunit.m4 is not (no more) provided by this package. From /usr/share/doc/libcppunit-dev/changelog.gz I found: 2016-10-15 Markus Mohrhard <markus.mohrh...@googlemail.com> [fcc84eec40acf8506f2a5fcc3fe0399663d1ce18] cppunit.m4 is gone But /usr/share/doc/libcppunit-dev/README.Debian contains a documentation of the M4 macro AM_PATH_CPPUNIT() Another strange thing is that /usr/share/aclocal/cppunit.m4 is listed as provided by libcppunit-dev from unstable by https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=cppunit.m4&mode=filename&suite=unstable&arch=any The version 1.13.2-2.1 from stable provides the cppunit.m4 I guess the file disappeared with version 1.14. I could not find a replacement for cppunit.m4 in https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/The-Macros.html#The-Macros If upstream decided to remove cppunit.m4, which looks to be the case, then maybe you should remove the file /usr/share/doc/libcppunit-dev/README.Debian I also note that cppunit-config was also removed. Using cppunit.m4 from the Debian stable does not work without cppunit-config. I suggest to: - remove README.Debian or, at least, change its content. - add a line in changelog that cppunit-config and cppunit.m4 have been removed upstream and are no more provided Regards, -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-7-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages libcppunit-dev depends on: ii libcppunit-1.14-0 1.14.0-3 libcppunit-dev recommends no packages.
