After some investigation it appears that lintian is struggling with override files that use an architecture suffix e.g. $binary_package_name.lintian-overrides.$arch
I see the failing test case is defining per-package architecture- specific overrides: fields-multi-arch-same-package-has-arch-specific-overrides-nonrel.lintian-overrides.amd64 fields-multi-arch-same-package-has-arch-specific-overrides.lintian-overrides.amd64 each defining an unknown tag "foo". These should result in hints like: fields-multi-arch-same-package-has-arch-specific-overrides (binary): alien-tag foo [usr/share/lintian/overrides/fields-multi-arch-same- package-has-arch-specific-overrides:1] but instead we get no hints for the package. My testing shows that lintian is skipping overrides that have an architecture suffix and renaming the files to $package_name.lintian-overrides results in a passing test. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083651 Title: lintian 2.118.0ubuntu1 FTBFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lintian/+bug/2083651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
