Bug#1029109: cimg: build dependency gone after tiff transition

[Paul Gevers]

Source: cimg
Version: 3.1.6+dfsg-6
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertag: edos-uninstallable

Dear maintainer(s),

Dose [1] is reporting issues with your packages. Normally your build 
dependencies shouldn't be removed from testing without removal all 
reverse build dependencies too, nor should a package be allowed to 
migrate unless all build dependencies are candidate for migration too. 
However, somehow we ended up in the current state and your source 
package is missing some Build-Depends for some while now. Not being able 
to build from source in a suite is an RC bug in that suite.

Your package Build-Depends on a particular SONAME of the tiff library, 
but that was dropped in the last tiff transition. Are you sure you need 
to Build-Depends on the library, it's already pulled in via the tiff 
header package.

Can you please solve the situation by either helping the maintainer of 
your Build-Depends to enable migration to testing, or by working around 
the lack of this build dependency?

Paul
