Bug#914195: dh-elpa sometimes cannot figure out package dependencies
Package: dh-elpa
Version: 1.15
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
sometimes dh-elpa cannot figure out package dependencies. I've faced
this issue while working on a new upstream version of package-lint-el,
0.6. dh-elpa was not able to determine package-lint-flymake.el
dependency on package-lint.
package-lint-flymake.el contains the followint code:
(eval-when-compile
(require 'cl-lib))
(require 'flymake)
(require 'package-lint)
But during the build process I saw the following warning:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package elpa-package-lint-flymake: substitution variable ${elpa:Depends} used, but is not defined
Therefore, elpa-package-lint was not added as a dependency of
elpa-package-lint-flymake, so I have to add the dependency manually.
You can find package-lint-el repo at
https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/package-lint-el
Regards,
Lev
