Package: lintian Version: 1.23.42 Severity: minor Hi,
I accidentally created a zero-byte 'debian/prerm' script in my package. That of course was not intentional or useful, but the output of lintian contained quite some 'uninitialized value's and was unclear as to the source of this problem: Now running lintian... Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 548. Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 548.

Tried to issue unknown tag unknown-interpreter Making $interp in checks/menus initialized to 'unknown' when reading <IN> fails would eliminate the warnings and give the appropriate tag. Same goes for checks/infofiles. [alert! code duplication] Thijs
