Package: lintian Version: 2.5.53 Severity: serious Hi,
lintian is currently unable to process the following 3 packages due to a bug in lintian: [2017-09-29T00:01:46]: [lintian] error processing node-argparse/1.0.7-1 (time: 1.540s) [2017-09-29T00:01:47]: [lintian] error processing node-commander/2.4.0-1 (time: 1.426s) [2017-09-29T00:01:49]: [lintian] error processing node-get/1.1.5+ds1-2 (time: 1.478s) The error is: """ N: Processing binary package node-get (version 1.1.5+ds1-2, arch all) ... C: node-get binary (1.1.5+ds1-2) [all]: no-ctrl-scripts I: node-get binary (1.1.5+ds1-2) [all]: extended-description-is-probably-too-short W: node-get binary (1.1.5+ds1-2) [all]: wrong-section-according-to-package-name node-get => javascript W: node-get binary (1.1.5+ds1-2) [all]: package-contains-timestamped-gzip usr/share/doc/node-get/buildinfo_all.gz tried to issue unknown tag example-script-uses-deprecated-nodejs-location at /srv/lintian.debian.org/lintian/checks/scripts.pm line 227. internal error: cannot run scripts check on package binary:node-get/1.1.5+ds1-2/all warning: skipping check of binary:node-get/1.1.5+ds1-2/all """ (The same error occurs for all 3 binaries AFAICT). This bug may prevent new uploads of these affected packages (as I recall, the FTP master's reject uploads where lintian fails). Accordingly, I have filed it as a serious bug. Thanks, ~Niels
