At http://packages.qa.debian.org/resolvconf.html is reported under "problems":
Piuparts found an (un)installation error in the Sid
version of this package. You should fix it; have
a look at the corresponding piuparts log.
The log says:
resolvconf piuparts-result: failed-testing 1.53
with these errors:
dependency lsb-base is essential-required
dependency initscripts is essential-required
dependency debconf is essential-required
Can someone please tell me what should be done about this,
if anything?
The complaint about resolvconf's dependency on initscripts
seems spurious. The dependency is versioned. Resolvconf 1.54
requires initscripts 2.88dsf-13.6 or later.
Resolvconf's dependency on debconf is also versioned, so
perhaps this message is also spurious.
Resolvconf's dependency on lsb-base is not versioned. I know
that it's improper to depend upon an Essential: yes package,
but lsb-base is not Essential: yes. Lsb-base is, however,
Priority: required. But I couldn't find anything in policy which
says it is an error to depend upon a Priority: required package.
What's wisdom here?
