--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 1.23.21 Severity: normal One of my packages (mercurial) needs python2.4. So I specifically build-depends on python2.4-dev. Since a few days, lintian complains about a missing build dependency: E: mercurial source: missing-build-dependency python | python-dev | python-all-dev It seems to ignore my depend on python2.4-dev. However, my package perfectly builds in a pbuilder environment (without any depends requested by lintian). So it seems that lintian has too strict tests with respect to python.

And if so, could something else be pulling in python for you via > a transitive dependency? You are right. I also build-depend on asciidoc that depends on python. So this is why my package correctly builds. I will add a build-depend on python in the next version so that my package can build whatever the depends of asciidoc are. Thank you for your remarks Best regards, Vince PS: I send this mail to 366769-done to close this bug.
