Bug#588156: lintian: [checks/debhelper] logic doesn't work for dh >= 7.9.1 and compat level 8
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.2
Severity: minor
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
I just got a "package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper"
warning for a package with "8" in debian/compat and a build
dependency on "debhelper (>= 7.9.1)".
It seems that Joey has broken lintian's logic [0] by introducing a
new compatibility level without bumping debhelper's major version :)
/*
The info for the tag might also be slightly misleading:
"The package doesn't declare a versioned build dependency on
debhelper." should probably be something like "doesn't declare any or
a high enough versioned dependency ..." (converted to proper English
of course).
*/
Cheers,
gregor
