Bug#662936: Add check for /usr/lib/php5/<version>/<component>.so and missing phpapi-<version>
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.5~bpo60+1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
this is a simple suggestion to add a lintian check for packages which contain
binary plugin for PHP located under /usr/lib/php5/<apiversion>/<component>.so
Such packages should Depend on phpapi-<apiversion> which is provided by PHP
packages.
Example of such failure was found in owfs as part of transition from PHP 5.3
to PHP 5.4: http://bugs.debian.org/662634
Lintian text should probably recommend something like this:
Please add something like:
echo "php:Depends=phpapi-`php-config5 --phpapi`" >> debian/<package>.substvars
to debian/rules and add
Depends: ${php:Depends}
to debian/control in the <package> section.
Thanks,
Ondrej
