It is possible that the website used a different version of lintian to you. > Can I test my local package somehow? Install the latest version of lintian from unstable and run lintian on the .changes file, which allows it to check the .deb as well as the .dsc. > $ lintian misspell-fixer_0.4-1.dsc --verbose -i --pedantic -o I tend to just call lintian from the source directory rather than passing it any files, this means that lintian will automatically find the right files to check. I also tend to enable the options in the config instead of the command-line: $ cat ~/.lintianrc info=yes display-info=yes display-experimental=yes pedantic=yes show-overrides=yes color=auto verbose=yes -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
