Bug#516427: lintian: [checks/shared-libs] too restrictive check of alternative dependencies in symbols files



Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.5
Severity: normal

glibc 2.9-2 introduced a strict dependency on the upstream version for
private symbols:

ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 libc6 #MINVER#
| libc6 (>> 2.9), libc6 (<< 2.10)

This cause lintian to output the following warning:
E: libc6: syntax-error-in-symbols-file 2

Raphaël Hertzog confirmed me this kind of dependency is correct.
