Package: lintian Version: 2.2.14 Severity: minor When using -E on a package with convertor in it's binary, lintian reports the following: X: lives: spelling-error-in-binary ./usr/lib/lives/lives-exe convertor converter
However convertor is a valid english word. See http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=*&Query=convertor. To reproduce download a package like lives (http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lives/), build and run lintian with -IE. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.19.51.20090805-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.3.1 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-7 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libipc-run-perl 0.84-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchange 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.5-3 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-p 5.10.0-25 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
