Package: lintian Version: 1.23.12 Severity: normal
lintian is declaring the emacspeak package in error as follows: E: emacspeak: tcl-script-but-no-tcl-dep ./usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/servers/dtk-soft N: N: Packages that use tcl scripts must depend on the virtual package tcl. N: N: In some cases a weaker relationship, such as Suggests or Recommends, N: will be more appropriate. N: The script actually requires /usr/bin/tcl which is *not* provided by, for example, tcl8.3, but rather by the tclx8.3 package via the "alternatives" mechanism. I don't think any other packages in testing or unstable provide /usr/bin/tcl. (In particular, the tclx8.4 package does not provide /usr/bin/tcl.) I don't see anything in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives that provides the virtual package tcl. (I tried to consult http://packages.debian.org/stable/virtual/tcl, but the site claims to be down due to performance issues.) Also: tclx8.3 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), tcl8.3 (>= 8.3.5) tcl8.3 Conflicts: tcl, tcl74 (<= 7.4p3-2) So it looks to me that this lintian test should look for a dependance on tclx8.3 rather than on tcl. - Jim Van Zandt -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1-2 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.41-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.13.11 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.12-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.34.1+20050828 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchangelog 0.7-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii man-db 2.4.3-3 The on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5-perl 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
