[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#587875: mc: Please remove type-handling dependency

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Package: mc
Version: 3:4.7.0.6-1
Severity: normal
User: debian-powerpcspe at breakpoint.cc
Usertags: typehandling

This package uses the keywords linux-gnu or not+linux-gnu in its depends
field in the control file. In particular:
- libgpm-dev | not+linux-gnu

Please be aware that linux-gnu excludes armel which is very likely
not be what you want.
Since Debian Policy 3.9.0.0 architecture wild cards are defined for
Build-Depends(?:-Indep): [0] and Architecture: [1]. You are encouraged
to start using them.
A quick cheat-sheet for the dependency would be:
"$DEPENDENCY | not+linux-gnu" => "$DEPENDENCY [linux-any]"
"$DEPENDENCY | linux-gnu"     => "$DEPENDENCY [!linux-any]"
