Package: lintian Version: 2.128.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I am the maintainer of the plplot package. In a development version of the package, even though I have added dh-sequence-fortran and dh-sequence-octave to Build-Depends, I get the following errors from Lintian : E: plplot source: missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command dh_fortran_mod (does not satisfy dh-fortran:any) [debian/rules] E: plplot source: missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command dh_octave_substvar (does not satisfy dh-octave:any) [debian/rules] These are clearly false positives, since the dh_fortran_mod dh_octave_substvar commands are provided by the dh-fortran and dh-octave packages, respectively. For the record, these packages provide the following dh_* commands, that can potentially be used in debian/rules: $ apt-file find bin/dh_octave | grep dh-octave: dh-octave: /usr/bin/dh_octave_changelogs dh-octave: /usr/bin/dh_octave_clean dh-octave: /usr/bin/dh_octave_examples dh-octave: /usr/bin/dh_octave_make dh-octave: /usr/bin/dh_octave_substvar dh-octave: /usr/bin/dh_octave_version $ apt-file find bin/dh_fortran | grep dh-fortran: dh-fortran: /usr/bin/dh_fortran dh-fortran: /usr/bin/dh_fortran_cmake dh-fortran: /usr/bin/dh_fortran_lib dh-fortran: /usr/bin/dh_fortran_lib_new dh-fortran: /usr/bin/dh_fortran_lib_old dh-fortran: /usr/bin/dh_fortran_mod dh-fortran: /usr/bin/dh_fortran_mod_new dh-fortran: /usr/bin/dh_fortran_mod_old dh-fortran: /usr/bin/dh_fortran_pkgconf Best, Rafael Laboissière
