Package: lintian Version: 2.3.3 Hi, to me this looks like false positives. With the current dash and ash packages in squeeze:
$ lintian /var/cache/apt/archives/dash_0.5.5.1-3_powerpc.deb W: dash: spelling-error-in-changelog explicitely explicitly W: dash: missing-debconf-dependency E: dash: postinst-does-not-call-updatemenus usr/share/menu/dash E: dash: package-uses-local-diversion prerm:15 E: dash: package-uses-local-diversion postinst:11 E: dash: package-uses-local-diversion postinst:23 E: dash: package-uses-local-diversion postinst:45 E: dash: orphaned-diversion * postinst $ lintian /var/cache/apt/archives/ash_0.5.5.1-3_all.deb W: ash: spelling-error-in-changelog explicitely explicitly E: ash: depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version pre-depends: dash E: ash: package-uses-local-diversion postinst:23 E: ash: orphaned-diversion * postinst $ The code handling the diversion in these scripts is years old, and I never saw a local diversion created by them, nor received any bug reports about that. Unfortunately a new upload of the dash package without any changes in these scripts is currently auto-rejected because of this.
