Lintian tag: distant-prerequisite-in-shlibs

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This package declares in its shlibs control file either a dependency on
some other package not listed in the Provides of this package or on a
version of this package that the package version doesn't satisfy.

Packages should normally only list in their shlibs control file the shared
libraries included in that package, and therefore the dependencies listed
there should normally be satisfied by either the package itself or one of
its Provides.

In unusual circumstances where it's necessary to declare more complex
dependencies in the shlibs control file, please add a Lintian override for
this warning.

Please refer to Dependencies between the library and other packages
(Section 8.6) in the Debian Policy Manual for details.
