Bug#440825: lintian: fails to recognize csh fulfilled csh dependencies

[Bernd Zeimetz <bernd@bzed.de>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.34
Severity: normal

Hi,

at the moment I'm working on a package which ships several scripts
written in csh. Adding
  c-shell | tcsh 
to Deps results in the following warning:

W: radiance: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends
depends: c-shell

which is right, obviously.

But changing the Dep. to
  csh | c-shell | tcsh
results in an error:

E: radiance: missing-dep-for-interpreter csh => c-shell | tcsh
(./usr/bin/compamb)

which is wrong in my opinion.

Please fix,
thanks


Bernd
