[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#872137: vmdebootstrap: fdisk build-dependency needed (for tests)

[andreas at fatal.se]

Source: vmdebootstrap
Version: 1.7-1+nmu1
Severity: important
User: util-linux at packages.debian.org
Usertags: fdisk-recommends-suggests

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 vmdebootstrap showed up on codesearch.debian.net and a
very quick analysis suggested you might not want to use a strict
depends but rather a recommends or suggests (and/or build-dependency
if you use it at build-time, eg. tests).

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

fdisk | util-linux (<< 2.29.2-3~)

(and if only for tests you might want to add the build profile
<!nocheck>)

Please reassign this bug report to the binary package shipping the
affected part of your source.

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

Regards, Andreas Henriksson
