Package: lintian Version: 2.2.14 Severity: minor Hi
Looking at junitperf's lintian warnings/errors[1] I noticed that lintian said "debhelper-compat-not-a-number", followed by deprecated compat version 4. It turns out that the compat file had a trailing whitespace, which triggered this. I think lintian should either have a separate tag for this or at least have the tag info updated to include that whitespaces triggers this error. Alternatively lintian should simply ignore whitespaces in compat during this test (this is what it does on the deprecated compat version test anyway). ~Niels [1] http://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/[email protected]#junitperf -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.19.51.20090723-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.3.1 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-7 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libipc-run-perl 0.84-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchange 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.6-1 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-p 5.10.0-25 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
