            Bug ID: 221712
           Summary: README.d/deps implies that there is a Debian package
                    named checkpatch, but there isn’t
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: jason@jasonyundt.email
        Regression: No

README.d/deps says:

> Description
>         There are different kinds of software dependencies on which this
>         project depends.  For maintaining the health of this project,
>         the health of those dependencies is also essential.  The
>         following lists dependencies as <debian-package>/<binary>.

That same file goes on to say:

>         Build
>                 To build the project, there are many dependencies, some
>                 of which are strictly necessary, and others which
>                 improve the quality (such as linters).
> 
>                 This list can be generated by the build system itself.
>                 Run the following command to print this list:
> 
>                         $ make -R help-list-build-depends

When I run “make -R help-list-build-depends”, all of the items on the list do
indeed appear be written as <debian-package>/<binary> except for one. One of
the items on the list is “checkpatch/checkpatch”. There is no Debian package
that’s named checkpatch (see <https://packages.debian.org/trixie/checkpatch>).
