Bug#796285: apache2-module-depends-on-real-apache2-package contradicts dh_apache2
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.36.1
Severity: normal
The apache2-module-depends-on-real-apache2-package appears to either be
bogus or be pointing to a bug in dh_apache2. I get:
E: libapache2-mod-webauth: apache2-module-depends-on-real-apache2-package apache
2-bin
N:
N: The package is an Apache2 HTTPD server module but it depends on a real
N: Apache2 package. Binary module packages must depend on the virtual
N: apache2-api-YYYYMMNN package only in order to ease transitions in
N: future.
N:
N: In particular, module packages must not pull the full web server or any
N: of its associated data packages as a dependency. That's left to the
N: user.
N:
N: Severity: serious, Certainty: certain
N:
N: Check: apache2, Type: binary
but I have no explicit dependenc on apache2-bin. Rather, the dependency
is added automatically to ${misc:Depends} by dh_apache2 as provided by
apache2-dev 2.4.16-3. So this tag is not actionable by a package
maintainer, at least without removing ${misc:Depends} from the package
dependencies, which seems like a horrible idea.
I'm going to add overrides to my package for this.
