Bug#875955: cme check dpkg warns on amd64 about unknown Build-Depends: libcam-dev [kfreebsd-any]

[Thomas Schmitt]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 1.022
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hi,

after
  apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
a run of
  cme check dpkg
issues this new warning:

  Warning in 'control source Build-Depends:3' value 'libcam-dev [kfreebsd-any]': package libcam-dev is unknown. Check for typos if not a virtual package

It offers

  you can try 'cme fix dpkg' to fix the warnings shown above

but running this shows just the warning again.
No file in ./debian gets changed.

The offending part of libburn-*/debian/control is:

  Build-Depends: dh-autoreconf,
                 pkg-config,
                 debhelper (>= 9),
                 libcam-dev [kfreebsd-any]

There is a package libcam-dev in Sid:
  https://packages.debian.org/sid/libcam-dev
But
  apt-file search libcam-dev
on the amd64 Sid VM finds nothing.
I assume it is because libcam-dev applies only to kfreebsd and not to amd64.

Already my backuped Sid of september last year does not find it.
Nevertheless, cme did not warn back then.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
A bit astounding is the version number output of my cme copy:

  $ cme --version
  cme (App::Cme) version 1.022 (/usr/bin/cme)

tracker.debian.org says it should be at least 2.098.

I am sure it was upgraded yesterday, because on the backuped Sid it says

  cme (App::Cme) version 1.012 (/usr/bin/cme)

and on the current Sid the command file has ctime
  Sep 15 12:34
and mtime
  Jun 23 20:27
