[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#956848: ncbi-blast+-legacy: Please provide /usr/bin/blastpgp.pl (including .pl extension)

[Andreas Tille]

Package: ncbi-blast+-legacy
Version: 2.9.0-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm aware that language extensions in Debian are not conform to
policy.  However, as we discussed in

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2018/06/msg00043.html

only stripping the extension is sometimes hard for rdepends of
our packages.  In this case the lack of blastpgp.pl requires
heavy patching of t-coffee which could be avoided if we would
provide both versions - blastpgp.pl and blastpgp - one of both
as symlink.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining ncbi-blast+-legacy

    Andreas.
