If there is an "OR" in the depends line dealing with the perl modules, the lintian check will fail. I think I can put in a special case for perl|perl5 and perl5|perl. Will that be enough? Do you expect perl-5.005|perl-5.004 or perl5|perl-5.004 or any other permutations. Since "perl" is only supposed to last until release, I'm not as concerned about that. There will probably be a lot of people using perl|perl5 until then so I don't mind using that but the rest...? > Simply correcting this for lintian 1.5 would be cool ... That's the goal. I though I had it licked until I found the OR problem. If there are no other likely "ORs", it should be uploaded a day after I get an answer to this question and to: Here is an example of the module dependency line. What "other" packages might be in the depends line, specificly, that would satisfy? CGI/Fast.pm perl|perl5|perl-5.004|perl-5.005 -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <lintian-maint@debian.org> * * <webmaster@debian.org> <gecko@fortunet.com> <webmaster@spi-inc.org> * =========================================================================
