Now we have OCaml-*3.10* related packages are $ apt-cache pkgnames ocaml |grep 3.10 ocaml-interp-3.10.1 ocaml-interp-3.10.2 ocaml-base-nox-3.10.0 ocaml-base-nox-3.10.1 ocaml-base-nox-3.10.2 ocaml-3.10.1 ocaml-3.10.2 ocaml-compiler-libs-3.10.1 ocaml-compiler-libs-3.10.2 ocaml-nox-3.10.0 ocaml-nox-3.10.1 ocaml-nox-3.10.2 ocaml-source-3.10.1 ocaml-source-3.10.2 ocaml-base-3.10.1 ocaml-base-3.10.2 those are virtual package. And for example, ocaml-base-nox package provides ocaml-base-nox-3.10".2", not ocaml-base-nox-3.10 . >Package: ocaml-base-nox >Version: 3.10.2-1 >Provides: libnums-ocaml, ocaml-base-nox-3.10.2 lintian requires ocaml-base-nox-3.10".0" So we CANNOT satisfy what lintian says about dependency :( I think lintian should not says about ocaml packages' names with version, but only the generic names. -- Regards, Hideki Yamane henrich @ debian.or.jp/iijmio-mail.jp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
