Package: lintian Version: 2.2.12 Severity: normal read-in-maintainer-script is tagged "severity certain" but it can have false positives... example:
{ read field1 [...] read field2 } </var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/vi or with a function: parse_something() { read foo } echo "bla" | parse_something Enhancing the parsing is probably difficult... but you can at least mention the existence of false positives and lower the certainty a bit. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.19.1-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.3 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-6 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.23 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libipc-run-perl 0.82-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.5-2 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-pe 5.10.0-23 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
