Great idea, I gave it a try. libxml-simple-perl and lintian were installed. I tried a few permutations. % grep -n Description debian/templates 4:Description: Use all available languages? Result: E: hello source: untranslatable-debconf-templates templates: 4 E: hello source: not-using-po-debconf % grep Description debian/templates _Description: Use all available languages? Result: E: hello source: not-using-po-debconf E: hello: no-template-description hello/all-languages E: hello: unknown-field-in-templates hello/all-languages _description % grep Description debian/templates Description-en: Use all available languages? Result: E: hello: no-template-description hello/all-languages % grep Description debian/templates _Description-en: Use all available languages? Result: E: hello: no-template-description hello/all-languages E: hello: unknown-field-in-templates hello/all-languages _description-en It is also warning about ancient-standards-version 3.9.6 but I don't see how that could be the cause of the problem. Thanks for taking the time to look at this Cheers Vince
