Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdebi
I use pbuilder with pbuilder-
The package in question has "libpod-simple-perl (>= 3.07)" in it's Build-Depends-Indep line while the output of gdebi --apt-line for that dsc-file didn't list it:
$ gdebi --quiet --root /var/cache/
debhelper libipc-run3-perl bsdmainutils gettext libfile-
My assumption is that's because of perl-modules providing libpod-simple-perl, therefore gdebi assumes that this dependency is fulfilled and doesn't check the version requested.
Thanks for your bugreport.
This was indeed the problem, it tried to resolve dependencies and did not check that the version requirement
was there (and that that can not be satisfied with virtual packages).
