Hi,

I need some advice on using the debian/symbols-file.
The package libctl3 needs a symbols file, so I added something like:

  libctl.so.3 libtcl3 #MINVER#
   scm_list_...@base
   scm_object_prope...@base
   (...)

to debian/libctl3.symbols. I got these lines from the output of dpkg-gensymbols. After dpkg-buildpackage I
now get the following warnings from Lintian v1.24.2.1 that I don't understand:

   lintian -I -E libctl3_3.0.3-2_i386.deb
   E: libctl3: symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision on 
symbol scm_list_...@base and 157 others
   W: libctl3: symbols-file-contains-debian-revision on symbol 
scm_list_...@base and 157 others
   W: libctl3: symbols-declares-dependency-on-other-package libtcl3 #MINVER#

Why does lintian complain about versions in the symbols file? Where did they hide? Where is the declaration of other packages dependencies? (btw. lintian v2.2.0 gives similar resultgs)

Thank you in advance
  Thorsten
