Package: lintian Version: 1.23.21 Severity: grave lintian fails on all deb packages with the following output:
lintian /home/michael/debian/build-area/kpowersave_0.6.2-1_i386.changes tar: Pattern matching characters used in file names. Please, tar: use --wildcards to enable pattern matching, or --no-wildcards to tar: suppress this warning. tar: *control: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors internal error: broken input pipe for unpacking /home/michael/debian/build-area/kpowersave_0.6.2-1_i386.de As this happens for all packages I tested it renders lintian completely unusable for me, so I'm filing this bug grave.
