Package: lintian Version: 2.94.0 Severity: normal Hi,
https://salsa.debian.org/lynx-team/lynx/-/merge_requests/1 by @janitor-bot made me aware of two dates in lynx's debian/changelog (as of the just uploaded 2.9.0dev.6-1) having a wrong week day. According to "ccal" these weekdays are indeed wrong. (See below.) But neither the current Lintian in unstable (2.94.0) nor the lintian version in Buster (2.15.0) emits that tag. What I see on Debian Unstable: $ lintian /var/cache/pbuilder/result/lynx_2.9.0dev.6-1_amd64.changes I: lynx source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream debian/patches/21_do_not_strip_-g.diff I: lynx source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream debian/patches/30_build_path_in_binary.diff I: lynx source: upstream-metadata-missing-repository $ egrep -v '^#|^$' ~/.lintianrc display-experimental = yes display-level = >=pedantic color = always suppress-tags=debian-news-entry-uses-asterisk $ But some lintian version in between (around 2020-05-09) must have emitted it twice, otherwise lintian-brush/Lintian-Janitor wouldn't have found it and fixed it in the above mentioned merge request. Manually checking the date lines mentioned in the merge request confirms that the weekdays are indeed wrong: -- Atsuhito KOHDA <ko...@debian.org> Sun, 19 Dec 2009 20:04:44 +0900 $ ccal 12 2009 December 2009 Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 (2009-12-19 was a Sunday) -- Atsuhito KOHDA <ko...@debian.org> Thu, 10 May 2004 13:22:29 +0900 $ ccal 5 2004 May 2004 Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 (2004-05-10 was a Monday.) -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (980, 'unstable-debug'), (600, 'testing'), (111, 'buildd-unstable'), (111, 'buildd-experimental'), (110, 'experimental'), (105, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.7.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.35-3 ii bzip2 1.0.8-4 ii diffstat 1.63-1 ii dpkg 1.20.5 ii dpkg-dev 1.20.5 ii file 1:5.38-5 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-10 ii gpg 2.2.20-1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.36+b3 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-3+b5 ii libclone-perl 0.45-1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.24-1 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.23-1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.58-1 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.10-1 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-1+b1 ii libdigest-sha-perl 6.02-1+b2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.20.5 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.04-1+b2 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-1 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-1 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.048-2 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004002-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b5 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.11-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.004000-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.114-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b6 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.59-2 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 4.018+ds-1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 4.018+ds-1 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.11-1 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-4+b7 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.12-1 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.8-1 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-1 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-1+b2 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-1 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii libtype-tiny-perl 1.010006-1 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-1+b1 ii liburi-perl 1.76-2 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0134+dfsg-2 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.82+repack-1 ii lzip 1.21-8 ii lzop 1.04-1 ii man-db 2.9.3-2 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.30.3-4 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-25 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1+b1 lintian recommends no packages.
