Package: lintian Version: 2.5.52 Severity: normal Lintian can't decide between
W: zsh source: useless-autoreconf-build-depends autotools-dev and E: zsh source: missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command dh_autotools-dev_restoreconfig => autotools-dev for a compat level 10 source package. The only change between these two errors/warnings is this commit: commit d092760816ef0149321db35dc9ac68d707600407 (debian) Author: Axel Beckert <a...@deuxchevaux.org> Date: Thu Aug 10 21:40:15 2017 +0200 Drop build-dependencies on autotools-dev and dh-autoreconf No more needed with debhelper compatibility level 10 and the according versioned build-dependency. Thanks: Lintian for the hint.

As far as I can see, the missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command error is the wrong one as the package builds fine under pbuilder with this commit and without these build-dependencies despite this error. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (980, 'unstable-debug'), (600, 'testing'), (111, 'buildd-unstable'), (111, 'buildd-experimental'), (110, 'experimental'), (105, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.12.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.29-4 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.18.24 ii file 1:5.31-1 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-2+b1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.32+b2 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.59-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.38-2+b2 ii libdigest-sha-perl 5.96-1+b3 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.24 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.96-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libperl5.26 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.0-5 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.72-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.24-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.63-2+b2 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.26.0-5 ii t1utils 1.40-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b4 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.29-4 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.24 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 -- no debconf information
