Package: lintian Version: 2.5.67 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
lintian caught the autotools-pkg-config-macro-not-cross-compilation-safe tag on my "swath" package just because the AC_PATH_PROG macro appears in a comment: https://sources.debian.org/src/swath/0.6.0-1/configure.ac/#line20 The comment lines should be filtered out before checking. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=th_TH.utf8, LC_CTYPE=th_TH.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=th_TH.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.29.1-12 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.0.4 ii file 1:5.32-1 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-4 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.33 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.60-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.39-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.4 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.96-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libperl5.26 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.1-3 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.72-2 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.24-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.63-2+b2 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-4 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.26.1-3 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b4 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.4 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b2 pn libtext-template-perl <none> -- no debconf information
