Bug#996719: "Provides: elpa-dash-functional" needs to be versioned to satify elpa-helpful
Package: elpa-dash
Version: 2.19.0+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Dear maintainers,
With the upload of 2.19.0+dfsg-1 elpa-dash took over
elpa-dash-functional via a Provides. However, elpa-helpful has a
versioned dependency on elpa-dash-functional. Policy 7.5 says this:
"""
If the Provides field does not specify a version number, it will
not satisfy versioned dependencies or violate versioned Conflicts or
Breaks.
"""
Please add a version to the Provides, otherwise elpa-dash can't take
over elpa-dash-functional in testing [1].
Paul
