empty ${shlibs:Depends} causing problems
Hi,
Something very strange is going on in the sh4 port:
For some reason some binary packages don't have any dependencies,
e.g. libcups2 2.2.0-2. The build log [1] says:
"dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package libcups2: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}"
I have no idea why this happened, but it caused qtbase-opensource-src
to FTBFS [2], because cups wasn't detected.
Since libcups2 2.2.1-1 has the correct dependencies again, please give
back qtbase-opensource-src.
The other package I found lacking dependencies is libsndfile1 1.0.27-1,
where the build log [3] has a similar warning:
"dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package libsndfile1: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}"
However, rebuilding that version locally produces a package with correct
dependencies. So please binNMU libsndfile1 on sh4.
There might be more cases, but I'm currently not aware of any others.
Best regards,
Andreas
