Package: sysvinit-utils Version: 2.96-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
This commits makes lsb-base pseudo-essential: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sysvinit/commit/c874e469f5246ae4605af72c8e30934a5e58b6fc Please fix that! (And be extra careful when introducing new dependencies of essential packages in the future.) (Fixing #851747 would be even better.) I'm not sure why you added the dependency but since it's a versioned dependency a guess might be that you didn't want an older version, so maybe you wanted to use Conflicts or Breaks: lsb-base (<< 11~) Regards, Andreas Henriksson
