Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0
Severity: important
Hello!
While checking the apt-listbugs package (which I maintain), I experienced
an awkward lintian behavior:
$ lintian -viF apt-listbugs_0.1.35~rc3_amd64.changes
N: Using profile debian/ftp-master-auto-reject.
N: Starting on group apt-listbugs/0.1.35~rc3
Warning in group apt-listbugs/0.1.35~rc3: Use of uninitialized value in
string eq at /usr/share/lintian/checks/fields/package-relations.pm line 129.
Warning in group apt-listbugs/0.1.35~rc3: Use of uninitialized value in
string eq at /usr/share/lintian/checks/fields/package-relations.pm line 129.
[...]
N: Finished processing group apt-listbugs/0.1.35~rc3
with the warning repeated 188 times.
If I enable more checks with:
$ lintian -EviIL +pedantic apt-listbugs_0.1.35~rc3_amd64.changes
I get the same 188 warnings and two false positives:
E: apt-listbugs: alternates-not-allowed Depends
N:
E: alternates-not-allowed
N:
N: Only the "Depends", "Recommends", "Suggests" and "Pre-Depends" fields
N: may specify alternate dependencies using the "|" symbol.
N:
N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 7.1 (Syntax of relationship
N: fields) for details.
N:
N: Severity: error
N:
N: Check: fields/package-relations
N:
E: apt-listbugs: alternates-not-allowed Suggests
I _think_ that these two complaints are false positives, since the
[debian/control] file has not changed since version 0.1.34 and
the same file has been previously (on December the 5th, 2020)
checked by the same version 2.104.0 of lintian, without any
complaint.
And I cannot understand what's wrong with the debian/control file.
But of course, I may be wrong: if this is the case, then please
help me understand...
[debian/control]:
<https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/a/apt-listbugs/control-0.1.34>
Is this new awkward behavior of lintian caused by some recent Perl
package upgrade in sid?
Among the lintian dependencies, I see the following changed versions:
libicu67:amd64 (67.1-4) -> (67.1-5)
libxml2:amd64 (2.9.10+dfsg-6.3) -> (2.9.10+dfsg-6.3+b1)
liblist-moreutils-perl (0.416-1+b6) -> (0.430-1)
and nothing else, it seems.
Please investigate and fix this issue.
Thanks for your time!
Bye.

Yay! Fixed in git. Due to the many CI regressions for that package
[1], all of which look similar to the original report here, I am not
sure it ever was a bug in Lintian.
Closing.
Kind regards
