Thanks for the suggestion, but... As I wrote above, I do not see this issue as tied to debhelper: If lintian warned about unversioned dependency on perl[1] then I would similarly disagree. Kind regards, - Jonas [1] Next release of CDBS will generate unversioned dependency on perl when using perlmodule.mk ;-) - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJKdzo3AAoJECx8MUbBoAEh90kP/j5C9UPjzDqSjPIwl5PbM+Qf n0nrZ+dF76NI3DrflVzMQG/K/NLuf7GB7mDIyPdEgV0NeYjb3EBiquB47aR1ngg8 EsoeA2XDdGB03wwRWghi6FaDXAxSSKEa2hGFbYWv481kus3MWM6cQdGhOnxFEWlr wcS1OO11lAmVcW2Mone3cLaNzfop376+OGgiXGXhHKFkg45O39LADexaXEE2gTkh 2DNWXSMBhxJKfL05wARVZTC4pocqcrVDhhODaWcv6uwa5iViqrwMRvJgNPqVqHqO bLhsMXW1DQh2ul/574UNgwcAjAJPASrThjqOqW758mE0hzxSBNPBtNVztoHM6Yub cXVUnK5oxTD++0XqHMBePzKJKm37Ce22EvtggP6H36XYZNBbqX9NthH9v9v76jBJ JFbJV0x+aPeXExNHz58Mww337OQyWFNy7Yz8MbbkvKp0VCzkHOWcP3JpVZkxjEoc 16ckH2dqZLEMxtphUMZBcJs2uSCBO3vJHoG4Wzl6i608pGga0uZzQMrnInUMecUp 7mEmYZPFCfPayCaq5CpUDoj+434lQH5yBqm3hxHXYArrOBFQeRbpoNnQ5iOWnRFy PdN5qxfeAE3lWTM42h/qesXXA3xUan3oMmSHOQ5fg5aqKfQGpE5o6p1qvLVdLSLg SjADZsk25MKG3TttB4k6 =qOot -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
