Bug#900118: opam: Please do not depends on "tar" (lintian error)
Source: opam
Version: 1.2.2-5
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Lintian reported the following error on your package:
E: depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version
opam 1.2.2-6 depends: tar
According to https://lintian.debian.org/tags/depends-on-essential-package-
without-using-version.html ,
Packages do not need to depend on essential packages; essential means that they
will always be present. The only reason to list an explicit dependency on an
essential package is if you need a particular version of that package, in which
case the version should be given in the dependency.
Please remove the dependency on "tar" if you don't find the version requirement
necessary.
