Source: lvm2
Version: 2.02.168-2
Severity: important
User: util-linux at packages.debian.org
Usertags: fdisk-build-dependency

Hello,

As recently announced on debian-devel-announce[1] packages who need
any of sfdisk, cfdisk or fdisk will need to add a dependency on the
new fdisk package.

Your package lvm2 showed up on codesearch.debian.net and a very quick
analysis suggested you might want to add a build-dependency as your
package only seems to use things from the fdisk package in its
test-suite.

Please use the backwards-compatible way of specifying the
build-dependency as suggested in the debian-devel-announce mail:

fdisk <!nocheck> | util-linux (<< 2.29.2-3~) <!nocheck>

If your more detailed analysis shows this should not be needed then
please just close this bug report stating the results of your
analysis (and if so sorry for bothering you).

Regards, Andreas Henriksson
