Dear ftp team,
While trying to fix #738263, I got a REJECT:
doxygen_1.8.6-3.dsc: APT could not parse Build-Depends field: Problem Parsing
Dependency
The Build-Depends field in question reads:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9.20140227), dpkg-dev (>= 1.17.2), libqt4-dev
<!profile.stage1>, flex, bison (>= 1.875a), python, libsqlite3-dev, tmake,
yui-compressor
It appears that this error originates from python-apt:
>>> import apt_pkg
>>> apt_pkg.init()
>>> apt_pkg.parse_src_depends("foo <!profile.stage1>")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Problem Parsing Dependency
>>>
I believe that the latter function is used in daklib.checks to validate
the Build-Depends line. I therefore ask you to upgrade your version of
python-apt, to a version that correctly parses Build-Depends. In other
words, a version of python-apt that fixes #744243.
Thanks
Helmut
