When alien crafts the deb packaging it does so using debhelper's dh_shlibdeps. This utility scans all the files in the package and determines the package dependencies. In the case of libc it always does a versioned dependency >= the current system version, since it's has no way of determining what you might be using in libc. > I thought it didn't do depend generation when it was an LSB > package It looks like the code it written in a way that the deb generating backend doesn't care if the frontend was rpm or lsb (or tgz) and always does the same thing. > (and as you point out, lsb-runtime-test isn't fully > an LSB package anyway), and I thought that was determined=20 > by seeing the appropriate lsb depend (lsb-core these days). Yeah that's how it works (still using "lsb" not "lsb-core" maybe a bug needs to be filed?). -- Matt Taggart Open Source & Linux Organization R&D [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hewlett-Packard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
