Bug#535139: lintian: false positive on ruby-script-but-no-ruby-dep
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.12
Severity: normal
Lintian is complaining:
E: facter: ruby-script-but-no-ruby-dep ./usr/bin/facter
Although it can clearly be seen in the control file:
Depends: ruby (>= 1.8), net-tools, host | bind9-host, pciutils, libopenssl-ruby1.8, ${misc:Depends}
Perhaps it is saying this because there is a versioned depends on Ruby
>= 1.8 and it should be listed as ruby1.8, ruby1.9 or just plain ruby
if there is no version specific criteria? If that is true, then the
description doesn't clearly indicate that.
thanks!
