[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#1065610: libguestfs0t64: All appliance dependencies lost during time_t transition

[James Cowgill]

Package: libguestfs0t64
Version: 1.52.0-2.1
Severity: serious

Hi,

During the time_t transition all the appliance dependencies of
libguestfs0 were lost:

$ debdiff libguestfs0_1%3a1.52.0-2+b1_amd64.deb libguestfs0t64_1%3a1.52.0-2.1_amd64.deb
...
Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format)

{+osinfo-db+}
Installed-Size: [-5038-] {+5039+}
Package: [-libguestfs0-] {+libguestfs0t64+}

The build log contains this:

debian/gen-appliance-depends.sh
...
cat: 'debian/libguestfs0/usr/lib/*-*/guestfs/supermin.d/packages': No such file or directory

So I think updating debian/gen-appliance-depends.sh with the new library
name should fix this.

----

I did try this change but it the package test doesn't pass right now. I
think that supermin fails to understand virtual dependencies when
resolving packages and so fails to install various things. Maybe
once the time_t transition has completed and the affected packages are
binNMUed this should resolve itself?
