web-application-depends-on-apache2-data-package
The package appears to be a web application but declares a package
relation with apache2-bin
, apache2-data
or any of its
transitional packages. However, web applications are rarely bound to a specific
web server version. Thus, they should depend on apache2
only instead.
If a web application is actually tied to a particular binary version of the web
server a dependency against the virtual apache2-api-YYYYMMDD
package
is more appropriate.
The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163
