Package: lintian Version: 2.5.86 Severity: normal I am just updating the packaging of michelf/php-markdown as php-markdown from 1.6 to 1.8 and got this warning from lintian:
W: php-markdown: embedded-php-library usr/share/php/Michelf/Markdown.php please use libmarkdown-php Surprised, I discovered that we have *two* versions of the same michelf/php-markdown source in Debian, libmarkdown-php being the older 1.0 version. Now, the 1.0 version allegedly has a feature in that it can be used as Wordpress plugin or something, so perhaps this situation is deliberate, but even so, shouldn’t the warning point to the newer package or even better both? Considering apt-cache rdepends libmarkdown-php shows zero packages depending on it, perhaps the older 1.0 version can even be RM’d? (Yes, php-markdown is also currently scheduled for removal, but we’re taking it over with maintainer permission and upgrading it as part of the process to package Movim for Debian so it will have a user again.) Cc’ing GCS as libmarkdown-php maintainer. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.30-19 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.0.5+b1 ii file 1:5.33-2 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-6+b1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.34 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.60-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.39-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.99-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libperl5.26 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.2-3 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.74-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.69+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.3-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.26.2-3 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: pn libperlio-gzip-perl <none> Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.30-19 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.5 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b2 pn libtext-template-perl <none> -- no debconf information
