Version: 4.3.2-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Please, consider the attached patch which
1. Drops erlang-src from the build dependencies. erlang-src usually is
not necessary to build any package. And certainly it is not necessary
for rabbitmq-server.
2. Replaces the fixed list of dependencies on erlang-* by an
automatically generated with erlang-depends one. The advantage of this
approach is changing dependencies if some other module (from the
original Erlang/OTP distribution) is introduced. Also, the dependencies
become versioned, e.g. currently in unstable they would become
Depends: adduser, erlang-base (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-crypto (>=
1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-eldap (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-eunit (>=
1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-inets (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-mnesia (>=
1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-os-mon (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-public-key
(>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-runtime-tools (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-ssl (>=
1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-syntax-tools (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), e
rlang-tools (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-xmerl (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), openssl,
rabbitmqadmin-ng, socat
This prevents trying to run rabbitmq-server with Erlang currently in
testing, which fails horribly (see [1]).

Cheers!
