It's fp-units-base, and the string is indeed exactly the problematic string indicating an embedded copy of zlib: 4 deflate 1.1.2 Copyright 1995-1998 Jean-loup Gailly It's in usr/lib/fpc/2.4.0/units/i386-linux/paszlib/zdeflate.o, and that's because despite being a completely different implementation translated to Pascal, the Pascal implementation embeds exactly the same copyright and version string as the C imlementation. Sigh. This is generally a false positive in that this is not the problem that Lintian is trying to diagnose (although I don't understand why it only sometimes shows up in builds of easymp3gain). I'm trying to figure out a good way of having Lintian avoid this problem. I wonder if we can trigger off of that leading 4 to suppress this tag, since that seems to be peculiar to the Pascal implementation. I think I'll give that a try for the next Lintian release. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
