# `distant-prerequisite-in-shlibs`

This package declares in its shlibs control file either a dependency on some other package not listed in the Provides of this package or on a version of this package that the package version doesn't satisfy.

Packages should normally only list in their shlibs control file the shared libraries included in that package, and therefore the dependencies listed there should normally be satisfied by either the package itself or one of its Provides.

In unusual circumstances where it's necessary to declare more complex dependencies in the shlibs control file, please add a Lintian override for this warning.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `shlibs-declares-dependency-on-other-package`
