[Android-tools-devel] Bug#998713: adb: inconsistency between package description and dependencies

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: adb
Version: 1:29.0.6-1
Severity: minor

$ dpkg -s adb
[...]
Replaces: android-tools-adb (<< 6.0~)
Provides: android-tools-adb
Depends: android-sdk-platform-tools-common (>= 28.0.2~), libc6 (>= 2.32), libgcc-s1 (>= 3.0), libstdc++6 (>= 9), libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.16)
Breaks: android-tools-adb (<< 6.0~)
Description: Android Debug Bridge
 A versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator
 instance or connected Android-powered device.
 .
 This package recommends "android-sdk-platform-tools-common" which contains
 the udev rules for Android devices. Without this package, adb and fastboot need
 to be running with root permission.
[...]

The description says

  This package recommends "android-sdk-platform-tools-common"

but adb actually depends on it. So "recommends" needs to be changed
to "depends on" (unless the intent is to changed this dependency to
a Recommends).
