Package: gnunet-gtk
Version: 0.7.0a-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
For some reason, gnunet-gtk's control file specifies a hard-coded list
of (binary) dependencies; although this is technically legal, it's
prone to get out of date when transitions (such as libextractor's just
now) occur. In particular, gnunet-gtk 0.7.0a-1 still specifies a
dependency on the old libextractor1c2 package, even though it also
depends on gnunet 0.7.0a, which in turn depends on the incompatible
libextractor1c2a package.
Really, though, there's no reason to hardcode any dependencies: just
run dh_shlibdeps (as you already do, in fact!) and specify
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
(See also Policy sections 8.6 and C.1.4, and section 4.1 of the New
Maintainers' Guide.)
While investigating this, I noticed that gnunet also hardcodes its
dependencies, and could use the same fix, though its dependencies at
least aren't actually broken.
