From cb2db7cc00816f9f2848e19e3395ac2fbd2c38e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Goirand Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:37:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add postgresql-debversion metapackage Depending on postgresql--debversion is annoying, as it changes on each release of PGSql. This intends to fix it, so that dak may depend on this package. --- debian/control | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+) diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index 50a0ae7..ad3feb9 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -46,3 +46,34 @@ Description: Debian version number type for PostgreSQL including commutator and negator optimisation hints * Operator classes for btree and hash indexes * The aggregate functions min() and max() + +Package: postgresql-debversion +Architecture: all +Depends: + postgresql-18-debversion, + ${misc:Depends}, +Description: Debian version number type for PostgreSQL - metapackage + Debian version numbers, used to version Debian binary and source + packages, have a defined format, including specifications for how + versions should be compared in order to sort them.
