Hi, I'm maintaining a package (gmp) that produces a C library (libgmp) and a C++ library (libgmpxx). The latter links against, and depends on the internals of, the former.
The libraries go into different binary packages, but since they are so tightly coupled, I'd like to have the libgmpxx package depend on the libgmp package with identical version number. I'd like to use something like the following for libgmpxx package Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, libgmp3 (= ${Source-Version}) but the dependencies are then ... libgmp3, ... libgmp3 (= x.y.z) and lintian complains about the "duplication". How do I get a single "libgmp3 (= x.y.z)" dependency? I don't want to mess with the shlibs file for libgmp3 itself. Thanks, -Steve
