There was a valuable discussion of Salsa here. [1] It included this valuable information:
[1] https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/merge_requests/312 Santiago R.R. commented: I think some of you already knew it, but I confirmed this is something related to the running environment, meaning the salsa.d.o runners. With the following .gitlab-ci.yml: image: 'debian:unstable' test: script: - locale - locale -a - apt-get update ; apt-get -y install lintian - LANG=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z /usr/share/man/man1/grep.1.gz > /dev/null - lintian -i --display-info --pedantic --allow-root debian/output/*.changes | tee lintian.output there is still the warning on salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/santiago/sandbox/-/jobs/2128420 but it runs OK on gitlab.com: https://gitlab.com/topodelapradera/sandbox/-/jobs/1729096914 I'd suggest to close this MR, since it doesn't solve the issue, and continue discussing on the BTS. I don't know what can be done on the Salsa CI side, for the moment, and it is kind of frustrating.
