Hello, I just found that lintian complains about packages containing executable bytecode :
E: bibtex2html: missing-dep-for-interpreter ocamlrun => ocaml | ocaml-base-nox (./usr/bin/bib2bib) N: N: You used an interpreter for a script that is not in an essential N: package. In most cases you will need to add a Dependency on the N: package that contains the interpreter. [..] My package depends on ocaml-base-nox-3.10.0. The lintian check is obviously wrong since it does not allow for a versionend ocaml-base-nox package. I wonder what the right check would be: - if I undestand correctly the dependency must be on ocaml-base-nox, not on ocaml. Or is there is a case in which the ocaml package can provide the ocamlrun interpreter? - are there any reasons in which it makes sense to depend on ocaml-base-nox and not on ocaml-base-nox-N.NN.NN for packages that use #!/usr/binocamlrun scripts? I cannot think of one So, in my opinion the right lintian check would be to check for dependency on a package ocaml-base-nox-(\d\.)+. Or did I miss something? -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
