Package: grass Version: 6.4.3-1 Severity: serious Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 In the latest upload of grass, the build dependency for libtiff has been changed to libtiff-dev (>> 4.0.3-1~) | libtiff5-dev However, build deamons only consider the first build dependency, and that is invalid as libtiff-dev is a virtual package. So now grass is not building [1]. Policy 7.5 says this: If a relationship field has a version number attached, only real packages will be considered to see whether the relationship is satisfied (or the prohibition violated, for a conflict or breakage). In other words, if a version number is specified, this is a request to ignore all Provides for that package name and consider only real packages. The package manager will assume that a package providing that virtual package is not of the "right" version. A Provides field may not contain version numbers, and the version number of the concrete package which provides a particular virtual package will not be considered when considering a dependency on or conflict with the virtual package name.
