--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.5.82~bpo9+1 Severity: normal I am not sure whether this is a good english expression, but if so, this is a false positive: Description: base58 encode/decode: command-line interface ---- lintian check for base58_1.0.0-1_all.deb ---- N: 'base58 encode/decode' is a description of what the package does, not N: a repeat of the package name. O: base58: description-starts-with-package-name Thorsten

Someone already overrode the tag in your repo. As an alternative, I wrote a merge request with improved descriptions. (I also removed the override.) You can find everything here: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/modules/python-base58/merge_requests/1 As a bonus, I also exended the long description. That cleaned out another Lintian tag: I: base58: extended-description-is-probably-too-short Closing this bug. Kind regards Felix Lechner
