and subject line gcj-4.3 removed from Debian unstable
has caused the Debian Bug report #553159,
regarding gappletviewer-4.3: missing-dependency-on-libc needed by
./usr/bin/gappletviewer-4.3 but the package doesn't depend on the
C library package. Normally this indicates that ${shlibs:
Depends} was omitted from the Depends line for this package in
debian/control.

This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with.
If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the
Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith.

Package: gappletviewer-4.3
Version: 4.3.4-4
Severity: serious
Justification: The listed file appears to be linked against the C library,
User: lintian-ma...@debian.org
Usertags: missing-dependency-on-libc
All shared libraries and compiled binaries must be run through dpkg-shlibdeps to
find out any libraries they are linked against (often via the dh_shlibdeps
debhelper command). The package containing these files must then depend on
${shlibs:Depends} in debian/control to get the proper package dependencies for
those libraries.
Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 8.6 (Dependencies between the library and
other packages - the shlibs system) for details.
,----[ 8.6 Dependencies between the library and other packages - the shlibs
system ]
| If a package contains a binary or library which links to a shared library, we
| must ensure that when the package is installed on the system, all of the
| libraries needed are also installed. This requirement led to the creation of
the
| shlibs system, which is very simple in its design: any package which provides
a
| shared library also provides information on the package dependencies required
to
| ensure the presence of this library, and any package which uses a shared
library
| uses this information to determine the dependencies it requires. The files
which
| contain the mapping from shared libraries to the necessary dependency
| information are called shlibs files.
|
| Thus, when a package is built which contains any shared libraries, it must
| provide a shlibs file for other packages to use, and when a package is built
| which contains any shared libraries or compiled binaries, it must run
| dpkg-shlibdeps on these to determine the libraries used and hence the
| dependencies needed by this package.
`----
,----[ 8.6.2 How to use dpkg-shlibdeps and the shlibs files ]
| Put a call to dpkg-shlibdeps into your debian/rules file. If your package
| contains only compiled binaries and libraries (but no scripts), you can use a
| command such as:
|
| dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/bin/* debian/tmp/usr/sbin/* \
| debian/tmp/usr/lib/*
|
| Otherwise, you will need to explicitly list the compiled binaries and
| libraries.[53]
|
| This command puts the dependency information into the debian/substvars file,
| which is then used by dpkg-gencontrol. You will need to place a
| ${shlibs:Depends} variable in the Depends field in the control file for this
to
| work.
