--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.122.0 Severity: normal Dear maintainers, While packaging composefs for Debian (Bug #1100914), lintian gave me the following informational warning: I: composefs source: unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright lgpl-2.1+ and gpl-2+ or apache-2 and gpl-2 or apache-2 [debian/copyright:8] My debian/copyright (see [1]) includes License paragraphs in several Files stanzas as well as one summarizing the packaging terms of the project as a whole in the Header stanza. This is according to the DEP-5 spec [2]: "The Copyright and License fields in the header stanza may complement but do not replace the fields in the Files stanzas. If present, they summarise the copyright notices or redistribution terms for the package as a whole." [1]: https://salsa.debian.org/rohieb/composefs/-/blob/2f1d3d15411a2459fd/debian/copyright [2]: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#header-stanza Apparently the additional License paragraph in the Header stanza is confusing lintian (or I'm not understanding the spec correctly, please inform me if this is the case :-)) Thanks, - Roland -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (991, 'testing-debug'), (991, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.22-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii appstream 1.0.5-1 ii binutils 2.44-3 ii bzip2 1.0.8-6 ii diffstat 1.67-1 ii dpkg 1.22.18 ii dpkg-dev 1.22.18 ii file 1:5.46-5 ii gettext 0.23.1-2 ii gpg 2.4.7-17 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.6 ii iso-codes 4.18.0-1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.42 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libberkeleydb-perl 0.66-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.50-1 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-4+b5 ii libclone-perl 0.47-1+b1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.30-1 ii libconst-fast-perl 0.014-2 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.39-1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.60-1 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.15-1 ii libdata-validate-uri-perl 0.07-3 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.84-1+b1 pn libdigest-sha-perl <none> ii libdpkg-perl 1.22.18 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.05-1+b4 pn libencode-perl <none> ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.09-2 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-3 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-2 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-3 ii libhtml-tokeparser-simple-perl 3.16-4 ii libio-interactive-perl 1.027-1 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.049-1 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004008-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-2 ii liblist-someutils-perl 0.59-1 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.12-2 ii libmldbm-perl 2.05-4 ii libmoo-perl 2.005005-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-2 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-2 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.148-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.20-1+b4 ii libperlio-utf8-strict-perl 0.010-1+b3 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.636-1+b3 ii libregexp-wildcards-perl 1.05-3 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 5.004+ds-1+b3 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 5.004+ds-1+b3 ii libsort-versions-perl 1.62-3 ii libsyntax-keyword-try-perl 0.30-1+b1 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.38-2+b4 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-5+b4 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.18-1 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.9-2+b1 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-2 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-2+b4 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-2 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-3 ii liburi-perl 5.30-1 ii libwww-mechanize-perl 2.19-1 ii libwww-perl 6.78-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0207+dfsg+really+2.0134-5+b2 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.903.0+ds-1 ii lzip [lzip-decompressor] 1.25-3 ii lzop 1.04-2 ii man-db 2.13.1-1 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libversion-perl] 5.40.1-3 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-29 ii xz-utils 5.8.1-1 lintian recommends no packages.
