Hi Mehdi,
I'm not decided yet if I'll unblock the package (because I didn't finish the
review yet) but I noticed something (that looks) odd (to me) in the Depends
field. So, facter depends on:
Depends: ruby1.8 (>= 1.8.7.72-3lenny1), net-tools, bind9-host | host,
libopenssl-ruby1.8 | libopenssl-ruby1.9
Why does it depend on "libopenssl-ruby1.8 | libopenssl-ruby1.9" when
it has a strong dependency on ruby1.8? I tend to think that putting
"libopenssl-ruby1.9" as an alternative dependency is wrong in this
case. (icbw though)
Facter will work with either ruby1.8 or ruby1.9, and its associated
libraries, but because ruby1.9 had not settled, we did not include a
potential depdency on 'ruby1.9'. You are right that its a little
strange, and probably removing libopenssl-ruby1.9 from the Depends would
resolve that.
A couple minor issues related to this, the changelog entry:
* Add versioned dependency for ruby1.8 (Closes: #585867)
is repeated twice in the upload that I did (oops), and the bug number is
wrong, it should be #545867. These are pretty minor, but I am happy to
fix them in an upload, if you would prefer?
