Bug#496875: lintian reports "build-depends-on-obsolete-package" as an error
Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.4
Severity: important
lintian currently reports the following error for the samba 2:3.2.3-1 source
package:
E: samba source: build-depends-on-obsolete-package build-depends: libcupsys2-dev
But this package has a deliberate *or'ed* build-dependency to facilitate
backporting:
libcups2-dev | libcupsys2-dev
So this is not an error, and lintian should not report it as such.
