Package: lintian Version: 2.5.3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
The Debian policy states the need for a copyright file but always refers to the binary version rather than the source version. So the copyright file might be package specific and may even be generated (which an upcoming version of pkg-components supports). However lintian looks for the source version when it seems that the policy only really permits it to scrutinize the binary version. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.21.53.20110910-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.5-7 high-quality block-sorting file co ii diffstat 1.54-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii file 5.08-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.18.1.1-4 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24+b2 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libclass-accessor-per 0.34-1 Perl module that automatically gen ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.1 Dpkg perl modules ii libemail-valid-perl 0.185-1 Perl module for checking the valid ii libipc-run-perl 0.90-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchange 1.2.0-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 collection of modules to manipulat ii liburi-perl 1.59-1 module to manipulate and access UR ii locales 2.13-21 Embedded GNU C Library: National L ii locales-all [locales] 2.13-21 Embedded GNU C Library: Precompile ii man-db 2.5.7-8 on-line manual pager ii patchutils 0.3.2-1 Utilities to work with patches ii perl [libdigest-sha-p 5.12.4-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii unzip 6.0-5 De-archiver for .zip files lintian recommends no packages.
