Package: lintian
Version: 2.108.0
I am getting complaints about the symbols files in ncurses, e.g. for
libtinfo6:
,----
| $ lintian /var/cache/apt/archives/libtinfo6_6.2+20210905-1_amd64.deb
| E: libtinfo6: invalid-template-id-in-symbols-file (line 152)
| E: libtinfo6: invalid-template-id-in-symbols-file (line 175)
| E: libtinfo6: invalid-template-id-in-symbols-file (line 73)
| E: libtinfo6: syntax-error-in-symbols-file (line 50)
`----
and similar issues in the other library packages from src:ncurses.
However, I do not see anything wrong with the symbols files, and they
have apparently worked fine for several years.
The Debian changelog gave no hint, bisection showed that the complaints
started with commit 24d90c81e2 ("Split shared-libs check into 10 smaller
checks."). Good luck figuring out which part of this commit is to
blame: 656 files changed, 4552 insertions(+), 1019 deletions(-).
