Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-sunffb

This bug was sent manually, but the text was written to a template, as I have several similar bugs to report today. Please see my recent bug reports for a list, or bug #391165 for the root cause.

Version 1.2.0-1build1 of xserver-xorg-video-sunffb has a missing line-end comma in the "Build-Dependencies" section of debian/control. There should be a comma in the area marked by ***asterisks***:

Build-Depends:
 debhelper (>= 5),
 automake,
 libtool,
 xutils-dev***
 ***pkg-config,
 xserver-xorg-dev (>= 2:1.2.99.902),
 x11proto-core-dev,
 x11proto-randr-dev,
 x11proto-render-dev,
 x11proto-xext-dev,
 x11proto-fonts-dev,
 x11proto-xf86dri-dev,
 x11proto-gl-dev,
 quilt,
 dpkg-dev (>= 1.14.17)

I haven't tested the exact effects of this issue in xserver-xorg-video-sunffb. It might be that these dependencies are unnecessary and can be removed, or it might be that some features are silently disabled (see bug #365770 for an example). If the dependencies should stay, the bug can be fixed by inserting a comma in the marked area.

The bug is a simple packaging issue - this package isn't even installed on my system.

Thanks, added check to the script for presence of 'debian/control' in
subjects. (Distinguishing packaging issues from regular bugs
mechanically is hard. Let's go shopping!)
