Source: net-snmp Version: 5.7.3+dfsg-4 Severity: serious Hi,
In debian/rules you have the following: UPSTREAM_VERSION = $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | egrep '^Version:' | cut -f 2 -d ':' | sed 's/ //' | sed 's/~dfsg.*$$//') COMPAT_VERSION = $(UPSTREAM_VERSION)~dfsg [...] override_dh_makeshlibs: dh_makeshlibs -plibsnmp$(LIB_VERSION) -V"libsnmp$(LIB_VERSION) (>= $(COMPAT_VERSION))" When a binNMU is scheduled, UPSTREAM_VERSION is set to 5.7.3+dfsg-4+b1 and then COMPAT_VERSION is set to 5.7.3+dfsg-4+b1~dfsg which is completely boggus All the reverse-dependency will have this boggus version in their generated dependency list. Why aren't you using "dh_makeshlibs -V" or the version macro that are present in /usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk ?
