Bug#1031217: lintian: warn on versions in symbols files newer than the package version
Package: lintian
Version: 2.116.3
Severity: normal
In the recently introduced libcufile0 package
Package: libcufile0
Section: non-free/libs
Source: nvidia-cuda-toolkit (11.7.1-3)
Version: 1.3.1.18~11.7.1-3
I unfortunately set the versions in the symbols file to "11.7.1" (based
on the source version) instead of "1.3" (based on the binary package
version). This of course resulted in unsatisfiable dependencies
libcufile0 (>= 11.7.1) ...
It would be nice if lintian would warn about such a version skew that
would likely result in broken dependencies.
