Package: lintian Version: 2.5.6 Severity: minor Hi,
It seems to me that lintian falsely reports hyphen-used-as-minus-sign for the following line in the file: Use \f[C]--\ --help\f[] for a list. If the space ('\ ') is removed, the warning is no longer generated. I'm not familiar with the groff source language, but at least viewing the page through man shows regular minus signs, and not dashes. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.5-ruru0 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ro_RO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ro_RO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.22-6 ii bzip2 1.0.6-1 ii diffstat 1.55-2 ii file 5.11-1 ii gettext 0.18.1.1-5 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.25+b1 ii libc-bin 2.13-27 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.31-1+b2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.1.2 ii libemail-valid-perl 0.187-2 ii libipc-run-perl 0.91-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii liburi-perl 1.59-1 ii locales 2.13-27 ii man-db 2.6.1-1 ii patchutils 0.3.2-1.1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.14.2-9 ii unzip 6.0-5 lintian recommends no packages.
