The field is a declaration of which policy version the package last complied with. The purpose is that, when policy is updated, you only need to check the package against the updated sections of policy rather than rechecking the entire package against the entirety of policy. Since lintian checks more than just policy and cannot automatically check all of policy, you still need to manually check the package against updated versions of policy. Since lintian bumping the version of policy it knows about does not mean that the changes in the new version of policy are checked for by the updated lintian, it is basically irrelevant what version of policy that lintian thinks is the latest version. > I guess there is not much benefit to updating it before lintian is > updated, but also probably not much harm. The two are entirely orthogonal, so it is best to update the package to the latest version of policy and then declare that you have done that by updating Standards-Version and mentioning that in the changelog. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

It sound like you recommend incrementing the standards version and ignoring lintian, right? As lintian helps to validate the package against the standards version, is there much benefit to updating the standards version before lintian can start to help validate it? I guess there is not much benefit to updating it before lintian is updated, but also probably not much harm. Thanks, -Jordan signature.asc Description: signature

When lintian is wrong about the Standards-Version being too new, it is best to ignore it and wait until lintian is updated. When lintian is wrong in general, file a bug report, unless there is no way for it to be right, then apply an override. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise

You can verify this with lintian, and it is also shown in the lintian section on mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/package/cglm/ The debian sid package page also lists 4.5.0: https://packages.debian.org/sid/lintian signature.asc Description: signature
