Package: lintian Version: 1.23.41 Severity: normal Lintian checks if files have an rpath set, and warns if they do, unless it is set to /usr/lib/packagename. This is incorrect for games, they would need it to /usr/lib/games/packagename. This means - games get warnings if they don't do anything wrong - games don't get warnings if they put their files in the wrong place
There are two possible solutions: - check if a package is in the games section, and require the rpath to be to the correct directory depeding on that. - if this might lead to too many false positives, simply allow /usr/lib/games/packagename rpaths for all packages. Unfortunately I can't provide a patch, as I don't speak perl, but the fix should be applied to the rpath paragraph in checks/binaries, line 216.
