Package: lintian Version: 2.18.0 Severity: important Spotted on lindsay.d.o:
The reporting framework runs lintian on a timer and can send it SIGTERM if it gets stuck (usually when the processing time is over). However, it seems that the reporting framework sometimes just dies/disappeares after lintian is killed. Below is the log from where lintian was manually killed by me on a stuck package - but there are plenty of examples that suggest it also happens when the reporting-lintian-harness automatically kills lintian on a timeout.

The package triggering it in this case was "mgcv" (now blacklisted on lindsay.d.). The lintian log looks like the following: """ N: Finished processing group mandos/1.8.8-1 N: Starting on group mgcv/1.8-28-2 N: Unpacking packages in group mgcv/1.8-28-2 N: Interrupted. """ The last line appeared after I killed lintian. Please see [1] for the last bit of the performance log which tells you what tasks lintian managed to complete on mgcv. This has probably been a key reason for why the lintian.d.o website has not been updated in the past few days. I hope it is helpful in debugging the issue. Thanks, ~Niels [1] Note the first line (mandos) is from the previous source just to ensure that everything from mgcv is present.
