Package: lintian
Version: 2.18.0
Severity: normal
Running lintian on the libc6-dev package leads to the following error:
| Command ar t usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.a exited with status 1: ar:
usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.a: file format not recognized
| warning: collect info ar-info about package libc6-dev failed (512)
| warning: skipping check of binary package libc6-dev
This libm.a file is actually not an ar archive, but a linker script:
| /* GNU ld script
| */
| OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-x86-64)
| GROUP ( /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm-2.28.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmvec.a )
lintian should probably check the type of the file before trying to
unpack it, as already done for .so files.

Hi Aurelien,
The error no longer occurs in Lintian.

A comment was left in the code to alert later editors to that
behavior. The commit is located at:
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/commit/9bea0ddfd775ae8129ee2f63708e0f4146584957
No other action was taken. Thank you for reporting the issue. Closing the bug.
Kind regards,
Felix Lechner
