Bug#1074135: lintian: error due to login no longer being Essential:yes

[Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.117.0
Severity: important

Hi!

Since shadow 1:4.15.1-1, the login package is no longer Essential:yes,
instead it is now Protected:yes. But lintian still considers it the
former and emits an error tag when a package Depends on login, which
we need to do now to guarantee the package is installed. Such as:

  $ lintian inetutils-telnetd_2.5-5_amd64.deb
  E: inetutils-telnetd: depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version Depends: login

I guess this would get fixed by refreshing the lintian data from the
archive, and a subsequent upload.

Thanks,
Guillem
