I am trying to suppress some lintian errors in my package build. I see
this error when running lintian:
--
E: stanford-spdb source: source-is-missing
usr/share/spdb/vendor/assets/javascripts/bootstrap-4.4.1.min.js
--
I attempt to override this by adding to debian/lintian-overrides the line
--
stanford-spdb source: source-is-missing
usr/share/spdb/vendor/assets/javascripts/bootstrap-4.4.1.min.js
--
I rebuild and run lintian again, but then I see this error:
--
E: stanford-spdb: malformed-override Override of source-is-missing for
package type source (expecting binary)
--
So I try changing the line in lintian-overrides to
--
stanford-spdb binary: source-is-missing
usr/share/spdb/vendor/assets/javascripts/bootstrap-4.4.1.min.js
--
Rebuilding the pcakge and running lintian now results in the error
--
E: stanford-spdb source: source-is-missing
usr/share/spdb/vendor/assets/javascripts/bootstrap-4.4.1.min.js
--
Also, the line gets flagged as an unused override.
How do I get lintian to be quiet about this?
