Tag: gir-missing-typelib-dependency
Severity: warning

Explanation: Development packages that contain GObject-Introspection XML files
 (<code>/usr/share/gir-1.0/Foo-23.gir</code> or
 <code>/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/gir-1.0/Foo-23.gir</code>)
 must depend on the package containing the corresponding binary typelib,
 which should normally be named <code>gir1.2-foo-23</code>.
 The dependency must be strictly versioned
 (for example <code>gir1.2-foo-23 (= ${binary:Version})</code> when using
 debhelper).
 .
 The recommended way to populate the <code>Depends</code> fields is to use
 debhelper and dh_girepository, via the gir addon or the dh-sequence-gir
 virtual package, and add <code>Depends: ${gir:Depends}</code> to
 packages that contain GIR XML.
 .
 If multiple typelibs are shipped in the same package, then that package
 should have versioned <code>Provides</code> for the names that would have been
 used for separate packages. In this case, Lintian does not emit this tag
 when a group of binary packages from the same source is checked together.
 Since gobject-introspection 1.78.1-6 (Debian trixie),
 the recommended way to populate the <code>Provides</code> fields is to use
 debhelper and dh_girepository, via the gir addon or the dh-sequence-gir
 virtual package, and add <code>Provides: ${gir:Provides}</code> to
 packages that contain more than one typelib.
 .
 For example, <code>libgtk-3-dev</code> contains <code>Gtk-3.0.gir</code>,
 <code>Gdk-3.0.gir</code> and <code>GdkX11-3.0.gir</code>.
 <code>gir1.2-gtk-3.0</code> contains all three corresponding typelibs,
 so it is sufficient for <code>libgtk-3-dev</code> to depend on
 <code>gir1.2-gtk-3.0</code>. Giving <code>gir1.2-gtk-3.0</code> <code>Provides</code>
 entries for <code>gir1.2-gdk-3.0 (= ${binary:Version})</code>
 and <code>gir1.2-gdkx11-3.0 (= ${binary:Version})</code> signals this
 situation to Lintian.
