Lintian tag: typelib-package-name-does-not-match
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
GObject-Introspection binary typelibs (Foo-23.typelib) should normally be
made available in a package named gir1.2-foo-23.
If multiple typelibs are shipped in the same package, then that package
should have versioned Provides for the names that would have been used for
separate packages. This arrangement should only be used if the included
typelibs' versions are expected to remain the same at all times.
For example, gir1.2-gtk-3.0 is named for the Gtk-3.0 typelib, but also
contains the Gdk-3.0 and GdkX11-3.0 typelibs. It should have versioned
Provides entries for gir1.2-gdk-3.0 (= ${binary:Version}) and
gir1.2-gdkx11-3.0 (= ${binary:Version}) to indicate this.
Since gobject-introspection 1.78.1-6 (Debian trixie), the recommended way
to populate the Provides fields is to use debhelper and dh_girepository,
via the gir addon or the dh-sequence-gir virtual package, and add
Provides: ${gir:Provides} to any package that contains public typelibs not
matching its package name.
Please refer to usr/share/doc/gobject-introspection/policy.txt for
details.
