Lintian does have some exceptions (like /usr/share/java/<file>.jar) where it assumes the target will be provided by a direct dependency. But that does not apply here since "framework.jar" does appear to be a "public java library" (i.e. not in /usr/share/java). ~Niels [1] http://lintian.debian.org/manual/section-1.3.html See "same source analysis". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
