Package: lintian Version: 1.23.47 Severity: grave Here is what I get today, after an upgrade to perl 5.10.x, running lintian on a *.changes file:
$ lintian ocaml-res_2.2.5-1_i386.changes Can't use string ("1") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 418, <IN> line 4. internal error: cannot run menus check on package libres-ocaml-dev N: Skipping check of binary package libres-ocaml-dev Yesterday it was working properly. The changes file involved is attached, though I doubt it is related at all to the problem. An educated guess: either something in lintian needs to be ported to the new perl, or lintian dependencies are wrong and need to be fixed to avoid co-installability with latest perl. ... nevertheless, thanks for lintian! :) Cheers. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-4 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.45-2 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.18 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.24-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchan 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii liburi-perl 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.1-4 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha 5.10.0-9 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
