Package: linda Version: 0.3.21 Severity: normal
linda checks that foo-doc and foo-docs packages contain "Section: doc", which is correct. However, the warning message talks about "Section: docs", which is incorrect and plainly misleading. Detailed checks: a) Package python-pyinotify-doc with "Section: python": W: python-pyinotify-doc; This package ends in -doc, or -docs, and isn't in Section: docs Actually, the section is called "doc" (not "docs"), as far as I can see from looking at the Debian Policy and the Debian apt repositories. b) Package python-pyinotify-doc with "Section: doc": No warning, no error. Looks like the actual test for the section name is correct, as linda does not insist on the section actually being "docs" with the trailing "s". c) Package python-pyinotify-doc with "Section: docs": W: python-pyinotify-doc; This package ends in -doc, or -docs, and isn't in Section: docs E: python-pyinotify-doc; Package is in section docs, which is unknown. Confirms this most likely is just an annoying typo in the warning message. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (250, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linda depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1cvs20060117-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii dash 0.5.3-2 The Debian Almquist Shell ii dpkg-dev 1.13.18 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.17-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii man-db 2.4.3-3 The on-line manual pager ii python 2.3.5-5 An interactive high-level object-o Versions of packages linda recommends: ii debian-policy 3.6.2.2 Debian Policy Manual and related d -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
