Package: lintian Version: 2.2.12 Severity: normal (Copy for information sent to [email protected].)
Dear lintian maintainers, many packages of the gnu-r section use a one-liner CDBS debian/rules file: include /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk This will then include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk, but since lintian does not see it in debian/rules, it throws an error of the ‘build-depends-without-arch-dep’ type for debhelper, cdbs, and r-base-dev (that provides /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk). Because it implies three dependancies that can be in any order, I did not figure out how to add a proper entry in our @GLOBAL_CLEAN_DEPENDS to solve that problem… Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy, Debian Med packaging team. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-powerpc64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.45-2 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.25 Debian package development tools ii file 4.26-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-4 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.22+b1 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libipc-run-perl 0.80-2 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchan 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.2-4 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha 5.10.0-22 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
