source: dynare version: 4.4.3-3 severity: minor Dear maintainer, currently dynare has this in d/control: Package: dynare-matlab Architecture: all Section: contrib/math Depends: ${misc:Depends}, dynare (>= ${source:Version}), libboost-graph-dev (>= 1.36) | libboost-graph1.55-dev | libboost-graph1.54-dev | libboost-graph1.49-dev, gfortran, matlab-support, make, libslicot-pic, libmatio-dev Description: MATLAB support for Dynare that alternative dep on liboost-graph-dev is totally useless (as 1.49 is oldstable, 1.54 is long gone, 1.55 is current stable), considering that the first one is always available. The gain is really minimal (only advantags is that if somebody by chance has a versioned liboost-graph installed won't install the metapackage), and instead confuses tools as they believe this package explicitly depends on e.g. liboost-graph1.55-dev. Example of confuses tools includes dak and ben (the release team's transition tracker). Right now your package is marked as bed due to this dependency, for example. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
