Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.84
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I just changed the Build-Depends of rancid 3.7-2 (just uploaded) from
exim4 | mail-transport-agent
to
default-mta | mail-transport-agent
to get rid of the default-mta-dependency-not-listed-first error.
But after the change the warning persists:
$ lintian -T default-mta-dependency-not-listed-first rancid_3.7-2.dsc
W: rancid source: default-mta-dependency-not-listed-first build-depends: automake, cvs, debhelper (>= 11~), default-mta | mail-transport-agent, expect, inetutils-ping [!linux-any], iputils-ping [linux-any], openssh-client, perl, po-debconf, telnet
As far as I can see, this seems to be an issue in fields.pm
check_field(), which tests, whether $seen[0] is 'default-mta'.
The problem here seems to be, that there are several Build-Depends in
rancid, which are sorted using wrap-and-sort, so
default-mta|mail-transport-agent isn't the first but fourth
Build-Dependency, so $seen[0] is 'automake' and not 'default-mta'.
I added a little Data::Dumper call Dumper(\@seen) to check_seen() and
this gives me:
$VAR1 = [
'automake',
'cvs',
'debhelper',
'default-mta',
'mail-transport-agent',
'expect',
'inetutils-ping',
'iputils-ping',
'openssh-client',
'perl',
'po-debconf',
'telnet'
];
Greetings
Roland
