Hi Ryan, This happens because `tools/read-dependencies --distro` joins the 'requires' and 'build-requires' defined in pkg-deps.json, the file that specifies the distro-specific deps. See this line specifically:
https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/master/tools/read- dependencies#L227 This doesn't happen when building the .deb package because we let debhelper calculate the dependencies, and packages/bddeb doesn't need to touch the Depends: line. In order to avoid the odd dependencies I don't see other way than making read-dependencies distinguish between build-deps and runtime-deps. RFC: We could add --runtime-only-deps to read-dependencies. When this is specified the build-requires from pkg-deps.json won't be appended to the list of dependencies. Then packages/brpm will have to be taught about this, looks easy at first glance.
