Bug#796352: please warn about a missing dependency on the gfortran module version
Package: lintian
When the gfortran module version changes, at least all the library packages
providing a fortran 90 module need a rebuild. Currently people have to scan the
archive them self to identify all the packages which need a rebuild. Please
warn about about -dev packages shipping a fortran module in a -dev package
without having a dependency on gfortran-mod-<n>, where <n> is the number of the
module version (e.g. gfortran-mod-14 for modules built using GCC 5).
The .mod file still can be located in /usr/include or /usr/lib. [1] has some
information how to identify a .mod file and extract the version number. Debian
bug #714730 has the discussion about how to standardize the location.
Thanks, Matthias
