Package: linda Version: 0.3.15 Severity: normal I got this message with one of my packages: W: libhdate-perl; Module package has no dependancy on perl or perl-base.
According to the perl policy (section 2.2, perl base): As Perl is currently used by such things as update-alternatives and some package maintainer scripts, it must be priority required and marked as essential. Since it's essential, I don't need to declare the depenedency. p.s. I added the missing perl depencency.
