Package: lintian Version: 2.104.0 Severity: normal I'm working on a yet-to-be-released package, binutils-sh-elf, which is a native package. I've attached the source for your examination.
This package uses Debhelper. What I think causes the false positive is that, instead of using a pattern rule like %: dh $@ I use the .DEFAULT special target and also call mkdir prior, like: .DEFAULT: mkdir -p $(unpacked_dir) dh $@ -D$(unpacked_dir) -Bbuild The .DEFAULT special target, unlike pattern rules, is specified by POSIX, and as Lintian indicates this is an error, I'd very much appreciate if this could be fixed. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (2, 'unstable'), (1, 'testing-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_USER, TAINT_WARN, TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.35.1-7 ii bzip2 1.0.8-4 ii diffstat 1.64-1 ii dpkg 1.20.7.1 ii dpkg-dev 1.20.7.1 ii file 1:5.39-3 ii gettext 0.21-4 ii gpg 2.2.27-1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.39 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-3+b7 ii libclone-perl 0.45-1+b1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.24-1 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.25-1+b1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.58-1 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.10-1.1 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-1+b2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.20.7.1 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.04-1+b3 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-1.1 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-1.1 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.048-2 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004003-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.430-2 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.11-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.004004-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-1.1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.118-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b7 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.59-2+b1 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 4.018+ds-1+b1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 4.018+ds-1+b1 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.11-1 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-4+b8 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.12-1+b1 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.8-1+b1 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-1 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-1+b3 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-1 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii libtype-tiny-perl 1.012001-1 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-1+b2 ii liburi-perl 5.07-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0134+dfsg-2+b1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.82+repack-1+b1 ii lzip 1.22-3 ii lzop 1.04-2 ii man-db 2.9.4-1 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.32.1-2 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-26 ii xz-utils 5.2.5-1.0 lintian recommends no packages.
