Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl Version: 2.122 Severity: normal While running dh-make-perl (0.106, not uploaded yet) for a new package, with an out-of-date policy installed (4.3.0 instead of 4.4.0), I got the following error:
``` Warning in 'source Standards-Version': Current standards version is '4.3.0'. Please read https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html for the changes that may be needed on your package to upgrade it from standard version '4.4.0' to '4.3.0'. Offending value: '4.4.0' ``` while it is true that there is an issue on my system (I should have made sure the latest policy version was installed), the message is quite bizarre and unhelpful ;) Idealy, we whould check if the installed version is older than the hardcoded version and warn the user about the outdated local version and not ask him to check for "upgrades" in policy ;) Cheers, -- nodens -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE 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: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libconfig-model-dpkg-perl depends on: ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.36+b1 ii libarray-intspan-perl 2.003-1 ii libconfig-model-backend-yaml-perl 2.133-2 ii libconfig-model-perl 2.133-1 ii libexporter-lite-perl 0.08-1 ii liblog-log4perl-perl 1.49-1 pn libmodule-corelist-perl <none> ii libmouse-perl 2.5.6-1+b1 ii libparse-recdescent-perl 1.967015+dfsg-2 ii libsoftware-licensemoreutils-perl 1.004-1 ii libtext-autoformat-perl 1.740000-2 ii libtext-levenshtein-damerau-perl 0.41-1 ii liburi-perl 1.76-1 ii libwww-perl 6.36-2 ii libyaml-perl 1.27-1 ii licensecheck 3.0.31-3 ii lintian 2.15.0 ii perl 5.28.1-6 Versions of packages libconfig-model-dpkg-perl recommends: ii libconfig-model-tkui-perl 1.369-2 libconfig-model-dpkg-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
