Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.4
Severity: normal
Hi,
Without changing anything in my package, lintian find that one of the
manpages is not in gzip form, whereas it is really.
The package is yaz_4.0.2-1 that I uploaded to unstable a few days ago.
It was working correctly, no problem with lintian.
I tried to create yaz_4.0.2-2, identically, in order to upload it to
unstable. Lintian find a warning and an error:
vdanjean@eyak:~/debian/mainteneur/yaz/build-area$ lintian yaz_4.0.2-1_amd64.deb
vdanjean@eyak:~/debian/mainteneur/yaz/build-area$ lintian yaz_4.0.2-2_amd64.deb
W: yaz: gz-file-not-gzip usr/share/man/man7/bib1-attr.7.gz
E: yaz: manpage-not-compressed-with-gzip usr/share/man/man7/bib1-attr.7.gz
Looking into the contents of the two packages (extracted with "dpkg -x ..."),
I find:
- both usr/share/man/man7/bib1-attr.7.gz are readable with zless but give
binary data when inspected with less (normal behavior)
- "file" does not correctly identify the type of
usr/share/man/man7/bib1-attr.7.gz in the second package
vdanjean@eyak:~/debian/mainteneur/yaz/build-area$ file
yaz-*/usr/share/man/man7/bib1-attr.7.gz
yaz-4.0.2-1/usr/share/man/man7/bib1-attr.7.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix,
max compression
yaz-4.0.2-2/usr/share/man/man7/bib1-attr.7.gz: Minix filesystem, V1, 45669
zones
- when building step-by-step yaz-4.0.2-2, usr/share/man/man7/bib1-attr.7.gz is
compressed from a plain file by dh_compress
- plain text of the two manpages are similar (only the date changes as it is
generated)

I'm not really sure where the bug really is (file ? lintian ? dh_compress ?)
but as it seems that this is a valid gzip file and I'm not sure lintian use
"file" to identify the format, I'm reporting against lintian.
For now, I'm adding an override.
I'm attaching the problematic manpage (the one from yaz-4.0.2-2)
Regards
