Package: lintian Version: 2.5.86 Severity: normal The following IMHO fully valid and not accidentially with ">>" appended debian/compat file of debsums triggers the lintian tag debhelper-compat-file-contains-multiple-levels:
---8<-- 10 # Needs to stay on a compat level which is supported in stable, # i.e. 10 for stretch (and probably 11 for buster) --->8--- IMO this lintian warning should only be triggered, if each line only contains numbers and especially does not begin with hash marks as commonly used for comments. Currently debhelper only looks at the first line of the debian/compat file and hence ignores anything behind (which probably also caused this tag to be implemented), but the tag should be only emitted if those lines are obviously created by using ">>" instead of ">", not with arbitrary content. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (980, 'unstable-debug'), (600, 'testing'), (111, 'buildd-unstable'), (111, 'buildd-experimental'), (110, 'experimental'), (105, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.30-19 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.0.5+b1 ii file 1:5.33-2 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-6+b1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.34 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.60-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.39-1 ii libdigest-sha-perl 6.02-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.99-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libperl5.26 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.2-3 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.74-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.69+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.3-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.26.2-3 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b4 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.30-19 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.5 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.53-1 -- no debconf information
