Lintian tag: build-depends-on-versioned-berkeley-db
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags)
The package build-depends on a versioned development package of Berkeley
DB (libdbX.Y-dev) instead of versionless package (libdb-dev).
Unfortunately this prevents binNMUs when default Berkeley DB version
changes.
Unless the package absolutely have to depend on specific Berkeley DB
version, it should build-depends on libdb-dev. For more information on the
upgrade process, please see the references.
The package can usually be made Berkeley DB version agnostic by the
following steps:
1. note the version of Berkeley DB used to compile the package on build time
2. on first install copy the used version to active version
3. on upgrades compare the versions and if they differ do the upgrade procedure
If you are unsure you can contact Berkeley DB maintainer, who would be
glad to help.
Should the package have a legitimate reason for using the versioned
development package, please add an override.
Please refer to
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/upgrading/upgrade_process.html
for details.
