Package: lintian Severity: wishlist
$ dpkg-reconfigure nana This is not dpkg install-info anymore, but GNU install-info See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information. zsh: exit 1 dpkg-reconfigure nana This breaks unrelated software (dpkg-reconfigure -a). That dpkg-reconfigure -a immediately aborts if reconfiguring a package fails seems to be a (normal) bug in debconf. To get a list of affected binary packages: w3m http://lintian.debian.org/tags/install-info-used-in-maintainer-script.html | awk '/[(]binary[)]$/ {print $1}' Extended description of this lintian tag is: This script apparently runs install-info. Updating the /usr/share/info/dir file is now handled automatically by triggers, so running install-info from maintainer scripts is no longer necessary. If debhelper generated the maintainer script fragment, rebuilding the package with debhelper 7.2.17 or later will fix this problem. Severity: normal, Certainty: possible Could rebuilding them please be scheduled? Could lintian maintainers please add this lintian tag to data/output/ftp-master-nonfatal, although this shouldn't occur much in future since debconf doesn't create this snippet anymore?
