Bug#534684: lintian: build-depends-without-arch-dep gives false positives when debian/rules includes /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.12
Severity: normal
(Copy for information sent to r-base-dev@packages.debian.org.)
Dear lintian maintainers,
many packages of the gnu-r section use a one-liner CDBS debian/rules file:
include /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk
This will then include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk, but since lintian
does not see it in debian/rules, it throws an error of the
‘build-depends-without-arch-dep’ type for debhelper, cdbs, and r-base-dev (that
provides /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk).
Because it implies three dependancies that can be in any order, I did not
figure out how to add a proper entry in our @GLOBAL_CLEAN_DEPENDS to solve that
problem…
Have a nice day,
