Package: lintian Version: 2.88.0 Severity: normal While preparing a new upload of the super package, I noticed that lintian started to show the following ridiculous warning about spelling in a line that is supposed to explain why lintian is wrong with its "typo in manual page" warning.
W: super: spelling-in-override-comment typo-in-manual-page (line 3) "allow to" "allow one to" Here is the full content of lintian-overrides: super: setuid-binary usr/bin/super 4755 root/root # "...changes root's default setting from default-allow to default-deny..." super: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man5/super.tab.5.gz allow to allow one to Please note that the warning is talking about "(line 3)" while the actual problem lies in line 2. I've lost some time to discover this. But to be honest. I have no idea, why lintian even checks spelling of the overrides files. The files are not supposed to be read by regular users, so what's the point of checking spelling there? And BTW. are you going to check spelling of comments in source code files as well? I'm pretty sure you can find a lot of spelling typos there...
