[Debian-med-packaging] MrBayes update (Was: Debian Med!)

[Tim Booth]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks - this compiles without modification on Ubuntu 12.04.

However, I do get this Lintian warning:

E: mrbayes: data.tar.xz-member-without-dpkg-pre-depends
N:
N:    The deb uses xz compression for the data member, which requires a
N:    Pre-Depends on dpkg (>= 1.15.6~). This is trivially satisfied in
Debian,
N:    but it can complicate upgrades from Ubuntu Lucid where dpkg 1.15.6
is
N:    not currently available.

So for all the Debian Med packages I use, I either have to remove xz
compression or add the Pre-Depends or risk the package breaking upgrades
form Bio-Linux 6.

So I'll add the Pre-Depends, as it shouldn't affect Debian.

Cheers,

TIM
