Bug#318147: debian-policy: Typo in 8.6.2: ${shlib:Depends} must be ${shlibs:Depends}
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.6.2.1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hello,
Section 8.6.2, "How to use dpkg-shlibdeps and the shlibs files" contains
a typo in the substitution variable:
> You will need to place a ${shlib:Depends} variable in the Depends field
> in the control file for this to work.
This needs to be ${shlibs:Depends}, the attached patch fixes this.
Please apply, it took me some time to figure out what was going wrong
with my control file :)
regards,
Thijs

This command puts the dependency information into the
<file>debian/substvars</file> file, which is then used by
<prgn>dpkg-gencontrol</prgn>. You will need to place a
- <tt>${shlib:Depends}</tt> variable in the <tt>Depends</tt>
+ <tt>${shlibs:Depends}</tt> variable in the <tt>Depends</tt>
field in the control file for this to work.
