[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1052763: libgnuastro18 has an undeclared file conflict on /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnuastro_make.so

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

Hi Helmut,

Thank you very much for the complete explanation.

Will this problem be fixed if we separate 'libgnuastro_make' as a 
separate package in 'debian/control'?

I would indeed love to read the Debian policy in full detail as it 
evolves. I did read most parts when I was helping the Debian-Astro team 
package it several years ago. But I am finding it harder and harder to 
find the time: I am the developer of Gnuastro, I am not a packager (but 
I love to do it as best as possible for the sake of the users). If the 
above is no the solution, can you point me to the sub-section about this?

Generally, it would be great if Lintian could complain about such 
issues. Before every push to salsa.debian.org (for the Debian astro team 
to inspect before pushing), I run it like below and correct all the 
important/relevant errors/warnings.

lintian -E -I --pedantic ...

Thank you very much,
Mohammad
