I suspect it has been fixed as a side-effect of another change, but I am not any wiser on when/what/how it happened. Admittedly I have not tried to reproducing it by removing the package(s) while lintian is running. However, I doubt that is what you are doing. I intend to close this shortly after the 2.5.5 upload, unless I am able to produce it. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Niels, I think the following steps should reproduce it: 1.) Take a package and run lintian against it. 2.) Then delete the package and but still run lintian against it.

Bug#651332: lintian: unhelpful message if changes file not present
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.4 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I have script that generates a private Debian package, builds it and runs lintian on the resulting changes file. I changed the name of the generated package in the test script and forgot that the test script needed to be updated. This led to an utterly bizarre error message: "Package name and type must be defined at /usr/bin/lintian line 1692" I understand that lintian runs on a layered approach and that the error was finally spotted deep in the code. It would be nice if the arguments were sanity checked right at the beginning as the message then would be immediately obvious. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.22-1 ii bzip2 1.0.5-7 ii diffstat 1.54-1 ii file 5.09-2 ii gettext0.18.1.1-5 ii intltool-debian0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl0.1.25+b1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.31-1+b2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.1.2 ii libemail-valid-perl0.185-1 ii libipc-run-perl0.90-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii liburi-perl1.59-1 ii locales2.13-21 ii locales-all [locales] 2.13-21 ii man-db 2.6.0.2-3 ii patchutils 0.3.2-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.14.2-6 ii unzip 6.0-5 lintian recommends no packages.
