Actually, trying to do a “fun build on stable system” is what made me
discover the problem.
But I am not trying to address anything but to provide proper, accurate
information. There are these 6 characters in debian/control, “>= 0.8”,
that providea wrong information. Replacing them by these seven
characters, “>= 0.10”, does provide the right information.
So here is the situation:
- currently, the debian/control is incorrect, which:
- is wrong, per se, as build-dependency information does not exist to
be filled with anything, even if it works,
- makes backporting harder,
- makes “funny builds on stable systems” harder;
- replacing 6 characters by 7 other ones:
- fixes the problem,
- provides true information,
- introduces no regression as far as I know.
> If you want that fix the deps please by yourself.
I would be glad to, but I am not the maintainer of this package. That
was why I provided a patch against the debian/control. In general, when
I see a mistake, small or big, with or without impact, that I can
correct, I submit a patch, and so did I here. Do you prefer to continue
providing wrong information in it rather than to apply my one-line patch
that introduces no cost?
