- Subject: lintian: "strong implies weak" dependency check broken
- From: Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org>

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.37
Severity: normal
Hi,
the check added to checks/control-file to diagnose stronger dependencies
that imply weaker dependencies in 1.23.37 fails when substvars are
involved; for example when running lintian on the xorg source package
currently in sid (1:7.3+8), I get this warning:
W: xorg source: stronger-dependency-implies-weaker depends -> recommends ${F:XServer-Xorg-Detect-Depends}
It looks like Dep::parse (or, really, Dep::Pred) doesn't handle
substvars.
Cheers,
Julien

Changes:
lintian (1.23.42) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "what did you do on your Christmas vacation?" release.
.
* checks/binaries:
+ [RA] Don't warn about unstripped binaries in .../lib/debug. Some
packages include debugging symbols in the main package.
+ [RA] Allow rpath pointing to /usr/lib/games/<package>. Thanks, Bas
Wijnen. (Closes: #456318)
+ [RA] Exclude nsswitch modules from multiple SONAME and package
naming checks.
* checks/changelog-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Don't spell-check lines that include the word "spelling".
Thanks, Andreas Hoenen. (Closes: #456515)
+ [RA] Allow long no-whitespace lines even when spaces or bullets
precede the text.
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [RA] Remove the obsolete base section. (Policy change pending).
* checks/control-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Include the package name in stronger-dependency-implies-weaker.
+ [RA] Fix stronger-dependency-implies-weaker description cut and
paste error. Thanks, Rafael Laboissiere. (Closes: #456405)
* checks/copyright-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Warn about packages covered by the GPL and linked with libssl
that don't list other common licenses or mention a license exception
or exemption. Requested by Joerg Jaspert. (Closes: #454238)
* checks/cruft:
+ [RA] Ignore debian/config.cache.
* checks/debconf{.desc,}:
+ Remove partially-translated-question at the request of Christian
Perrier. Only the translator could fix this, and debconf doesn't
show the translation unless it's complete. (Closes: #459293)
* checks/debian-readme{.desc,}:
+ Combine readme-debian-{is,contains}-debmake-template and be less
particular about the exact formatting of the dh-make template.
Triggering off the template text is enough and matches linda.
Thanks, Joerg Jaspert. (Closes: #458074)
* checks/description{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Do picky spelling and capitalization checks on the description
and note and explain this in the long description.
* checks/fields:
+ [RA] Handle double-colon rules when checking that build dependencies
match debian/rules. (Closes: #457501)
+ [RA] Allow python-setuptools in Build-Depends for arch-independent
Python packages. Thanks, Vincent Bernat. (Closes: #459042)
* checks/fields.desc:
+ [RA] Remove X.X.X versions from the debian-revision-not-well-formed
long description. (Closes: #456286)
+ [RA] Update references and binary-NMU version descriptions.
* checks/files:
+ [RA] Ignore zero-length files in /usr/share/doc/examples.
+ [RA] The underFooLicense.docbook files from KDE are not license
files. Thanks, Sune Vuorela. (Closes: #458831)
+ [RA] Allow /emul as a top-level directory and files in
/emul/ia32-linux/{lib,usr/lib}. (Closes: #459254)
* checks/files.desc:
+ [RA] Remove a stray variable from the config-file-reserved tag.
* checks/init.d{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Warn on init scripts that list S in their Default-Stop LSB
keyword. Thanks, Petter Reinholdtsen. (Closes: #458596)
* checks/menu-format{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Fix non-wm-module-in-wm-modules-menu-section pluralization to
match the check and reword the long description to be hopefully
clearer. Thanks, Martín Ferrari. (Closes: #457527)
+ [RA] Warn about use of su wrappers other than su-to-root for desktop
and Live CD support. Thanks, Daniel Baumann. (Closes: #453931)
+ [RA] Only check for desktop files in /usr/share/applications. The
ones elsewhere are too strange. (Closes: #459252)
* checks/menus{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Spelling errors in doc-base files should only be warnings. Do
picky spelling and capitalization checks on the abstract and title
fields.
* checks/patch-systems:
+ [RA] dpatch permits multiple patches to be listed on the same line
of 00list. Patch by Chris Lamb. (Closes: #457523)
* checks/scripts{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Add lua40 and lua5.1. Thanks, Enrico Tassi. (Closes: #457219)
+ [RA] Improve recognition of heredocs.
+ [RA] Recognize quoted strings that start at beginning of the line.
+ [RA] Rewrite script path and dependency checking. Remove scripts
and packages no longer in the archive. Add new versions of
versioned scripts and packages. Fix the dependencies for pike
interpreters. (Closes: #458896)
+ [RA] Reformat long descriptions and collapse some tags.
+ [RA] For consistent results, only syntax-check sh and bash scripts.
Also ignore all dpatch files, not just those in /usr/src.
* checks/shared-libs{.desc,}:
+ [RA] New check for version numbers in symbol files. Based on a
patch from Raphael Hertzog. (Closes: #457067)
+ [RA] Exclude nsswitch modules from shlibs file checks.
+ [RA] ld.so may also look in /emul/ia32-linux/{lib,usr/lib}.
.
* debian/control:
+ [RA] Suggest libtext-template-perl, needed for HTML reporting.
* debian/copyright:
+ [RA] Add my copyright statement.
+ [RA] Reference GPL-2, not the GPL symlink, reflecting our license.
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] Merge all override messages into a single message per run. Add
-q/--quiet option to suppress that message. (Closes: #457513)
+ [RA] Allow + and . in tag names in overrides. Thanks, Stefan
Fritsch. (Closes: #454790)
+ [RA] Check that the argument to --color is valid.
+ [RA] Warn about no package arguments unless --setup-lab or
--remove-lab are given. Thanks, Damyan Ivanov. (Closes: #455732)
+ [RA] Add support for HTML coloring. (Closes: #458376)
* frontend/lintian-info:
+ [RA] Allow for HTML color tags.
+ [RA] Add -a to annotate an override file.

+ [RA] Allow substvars instead of package names so that dependency
checks against the source debian/control file don't treat all
substvars as equivalent. Thanks, Julien Cristau. (Closes: #456802)
* lib/Spelling.pm:
+ [RA] Stop doing capitalization checks on all files; there's too much
of a risk of false positives. Instead, provide a separate picky
spelling check function for package descriptions and similar cases
where we're more sure of the contents.
+ [RA] Expand the picky capitalization checks to catch Debian, GNOME,
KDE, and Linux. (Closes: #456582)
* lib/Tags.pm:
+ [RA] Add support for HTML coloring.
.
* man/lintian.1:
+ [RA] Document the --color=html and -q/--quiet options.
* man/lintian-info.1:
+ [RA] Document the --annotate option.
.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [RA] Rewritten.
- Include info, experimental, and overridden tags in the tag pages.
- Generate a second report for each maintainer showing all tags.
- Correctly handle multiple different maintainer strings with the
same e-mail address.
- Correctly report the version number of a binary package when it
differs from the source package. (Closes: #458036)
- Formatting changes (hopefully improvements) to the web pages.
- New template-driven system for easier revision of the HTML.
* reporting/lintian.css:
+ [RA] New minimal style sheet for the HTML reports.

+ [RA] New Text::Template page templates for the HTML reports.
.
