It could include the dash. :) Lintian is telling you, in the message, the package name that it's expecting. This may well be too picky in this particular case. I don't have any strong opinions about that, although I will note that a package name of libparsifal1.0.0 corresponds to an SONAME of libparsifal.so.1.0.0, not an SONAME of libparsifal-1.0.0.so, in the Debian library packaging documentation. If you include the dash, it disambiguates between those two cases. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
