Bug#751891: gcc-4.9-source: versioned dependency blocks make-guile installation
Package: gcc-4.9-source
Version: 4.9.0-6
Severity: normal
Could you please unversion gcc-4.9-source's dependency on make? It
currently depends on make (>= 3.81). However, the version requirement
is redundant (even oldstable had 3.81-8) and prevents installation of
the new Guile-enabled make variant make-guile, which
Conflicts/Provides/Replaces make. (Debian doesn't support versioned
provides, which would have otherwise made this a non-issue.)
Thanks!
P.S. The same goes for older gcc-4.x-source packages; please let me
know if you'd like explicit reports for any or all of them.
