Severity: wishlist
--
In Chapter 6 of the maint-guide package, the B90lintian hooks script
for pbuilder contains the line
apt-get -y --force-yes install "$@"
The "--force-yes" option is deprecated; apt-get recommends replacing
it with one of the "--allow-*" options. However, the apt-get man page
warns that all of those options are "dangerous".
The example B90lintian script in
/usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/B90lintian simply omits the
"--force-yes" option and does not replace it with an "--allow-*'
option.
Please consider just removing the "--force-yes" option in the
B90lintian example in maint-guide Chapter 6.
Thanks,
Paul Hardy
