cdebconf, and a versioned dependency on debconf

[Manoj Srivastava]

Hi,

This is an issue that bit me recently. ucf relies heavily on
 debconf to do its job, and thus depends on it. Way back when, it was
 told to me that we arte going to move to cdebconf, which at some point
 will be the preferred way. In the meantime, to facilitate the future
 transition, we should all depend on
debconf | cdebconf
 to make life in the future easier.

Now, as of version 3.005, ucf started using a feaure that has
 long been a part of cdebconf, but was only ported to debconf in version
 1.5.19, so now ucf started depending on:
   debconf (>= 1.5.19) | cdebconf  
 and this is where trouble beings.

Suppose a machine running stable has cdebconf installed. It also
 has an old version of debconf installed,  say, one that is older than
 1.5.19. Since cdebconf was installed, the dependency requirements are
 fully satisfied, so debconf was not updated.

Now, ucf follows the instructions in debconf-devel(7) -- and
 that just uses debconf, the older version which does nothave support
 for the feature ucf needs. Boom, there goes the update.

Now, in any situation where we have two alternatives, and have a
 versioned dependency on one of them, but do not actually control which
 of the alternatives gets used (if, say, they are drop in replacements),
 there is going to be a potential problem.

In the specific case, debconf (>= X.Y.X) | cdebconf  is a
 upgrade bug waiting to happen if the target machine had cdebconf and an
 older version of debconf installed.

Solutions?
 a) Do not depend on cdebconf as an alternate; in which case the upgrade
works fine, but the future transition to cdebconf gets hairier.
 b) depend on cdebconf, but check which variant is present, and check if
the version you are asking for has the feature present. This is
harder, more complex, and we added the versioned dependency so we do
not have to check for the rpesence of the  new feature.
 c) Post lenny, tell a white lie to the packaging system, and pretend
ucf breaks debconf < 1.5.19. This is not true, since it is actually
debconf that break the ucf version >= 3.005, but if the Breaks
relationship is symmetric, as implemented, this white lie would work

 c) is not possible for Lenny yet, since Etch's dpkg has no idea
 what a Breaks relationship means.

So me, I am going for option a for ucf, unless someone can point
 me to a better idea.

Bug#505857: lintian: false positive debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version

[Raphael Geissert]

Hi all,

1.- Short term workaround:
override the warning.

2.- Short term solution:
Extract and apply the dversionmangle regex on the package's version and check if
the Debian-specific bit is still around.

3.- Long term solution:
Turn some portions of uscan into a perl module[1] and use it to extract the
dversionmangle regex.

If there are really so many cases out there where this bug occurs and people is
desperate to have it fixed instead of overriding the warning until a proper fix
is available, am willing to work on 2. Otherwise, I will be working on the pm
part of 3 some time soon, which just like the checkbashisms as pm stuff will
need to be integrated in lintian afterwards.

So?

[1]This is on my ToDo list for DEHS2 anyway.

Cheers,

I think the check is fooled by your overreaching regex. If you
replace it with s/\+dfsg.*$// it should stop complaining.


That's posibble, but I think the check is stupid. I don't want to make the  
regexp more specific, because I sometimes make packages versioned like  
"20081031+other_stuff+dfsg-1" and I want uscan to work on this too. It  
would probably be possible to silence the check by


 s/\+.*(?!dfsg)$//

which would totally defeat the purpose of the check.

Hey there :) Great work on lintian.

I note that in #190897, "E:" means "lintian is sure" and "W:" means
"lintian is not sure". /usr/share/doc/lintian/lintian.txt.gz (sections
2.2 and 2.3) explain quite succinctly that they actually mean "error"
and "warning".

So this particular bug is specifically to correct the documentation.
Having a seperate tag entire for "uncertain" (say, having E:, W:, and
U:) would be nice. #190897 also requests this.

I believe the recent(ish) introduction of the Severity and Certainty
fields and the corresponding --display-level switch address this, so am
closing the bug.

I know, and am sorry (although it was because of your change that it
did no longer apply ;). For the checkbashisms as a module change I do
use a branch, although I should probably start doing it for most of
the other changes as well.

Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: wishlist

rpmlint added checks for exit() or _exit() calls in shared libraries:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450011
http://rpmlint.zarb.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/changeset/1448

I think this would be a useful addition to lintian.

Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: minor

Example:

$ lintian --show-overrides -I

O: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink

I: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: unused-override
I: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: unused-override
I: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: unused-override

Lintian should either not emit unused-override at all (only in that case, of 
course) or should only do it for tags that belong to the same check.

PS. -T is not affected.

Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.2.1
Severity: wishlist

Lintian reports an unusual-interpreter warning for icmake-scripts (cf. the
icmake Debian package), but icmake scripts can be used with a
#!/usr/bin/icmake header line calling icmake to process the script.

E.g., the warning reported by Lintian could be: 

W: tcshconfig: unusual-interpreter ./usr/bin/ds #!/usr/bin/icmake

I would appreciate it if Lintian would recognize icmake as a `usual
interpreter' :-)

Cheers,

Frank B. Brokken.

Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: wishlist


Lintian reports a warning when there is a question mark ('?') in the
extended desription of a debconf template.
The reason is that there should be no questions in it.
But it's a problem if you want to insert a literally '?'.

An example text is:
"You can use wildcard expressions like '*' or '?'."

In this case, no warning should be thrown.


It would be good to not simply search for question marks but for
question marks at the end of sentences.

Here is a patch from Stephen Gran (given on debian-mentors):

--- a/checks/debconf

Looking at lintian.debian.org, the new
versioned-dependency-satisfied-by-perl check incorrectly triggers on the
perl and perl-modules packages due to their Conflicts and Replaces fields.

The attached patch makes the check simply ignore all the non-dependency
relations.

Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: normal

For some strange reason, the latest version of libmodule-build-perl
doesn't work for zim and thus I added a Build-Conflict to force the usage
of version of the module that is provided by perl-modules:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5.0), perl-modules (>= 5.10.0) | 
libmodule-build-perl (>= 0.2800)
Build-Conflicts: libmodule-build-perl (>= 0.3000)

But this combination leads to lintian improperly complaining:
E: zim source: missing-build-dependency libmodule-build-perl

Not sure if the Build-Conflicts is at fault or if the change advised by
the lintian warning is the sole responsible:
W: zim source: versioned-dependency-satisfied-by-perl build-depends: 
libmodule-build-perl (>= 0.28)

It would be nice to change this, as it's a fairly useful feature for
special setups like private repositories.

Yeah, apologies for going mostly radio silent over here.  The last couple
of months have been insanely busy for me.  Things should be calming down
over the next few weeks and I should hopefully have time for Lintian (and
Policy) again.

Re: Unusual characters in filenames in Lintian's testset

[Adam D. Barratt]

[Adding James to the Cc list to avoid having to write essentially the same 
mail twice]


On Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:43:41 +, Colin Watson wrote:

For Ubuntu, we'd like to be able to import Lintian into bzr.
Unfortunately, at the moment this fails because there are some unusual
characters in testset/filenames/files/:

[...]

 -rw-r--r-- 1 cjwatson cjwatson 14 2004-03-10 02:39 "'\\ "
 -rw-r--r-- 1 cjwatson cjwatson 47 2004-03-10 02:39 "Maelstrom Sound"

bzr doesn't like the "\" character because it breaks checkouts on
Windows. (I'm not sure I agree with this decision, but that's a
separate conversation.)

Would anyone mind if, switching to my Lintian maintenance team hat, I
arranged for these to be created on the fly rather than in revision
control?


I've removed the file in the git repository and verified that HEAD passes a 
"bzr init && bzr add && bzr commit".


There were two files which were being ignored by the import due to their 
filename patterns - "testset/diffs/binary.c~" and 
"testset/diffs/.#binary.c.1.34". I've removed both and added a generated .c~ 
file to the filenames testset; the net effect is largely zero as we were 
already testing the CVS conflict file tag in the filenames testset.

May I ask who needs that? ;)


Colin (Watson) requested the change in January (in a mail I'm about to reply 
to); Russ agreed at the time, but it never got done.  I was reminded of it 
earlier in the week as lintian is one of the packages that currently fails 
to import in to http://package-import.ubuntu.com/


I'm quite happy to revert the changes if anyone feels they're inappropriate.

Regards,

Adam

I think the check is fooled by your overreaching regex. If you
replace it with s/\+dfsg.*$// it should stop complaining.

Yeah, it is really long overdue. Will take care to do that during the

Yeah, I remember sending that mail, too, but also can't find it
currently. Anyway, the whole problem could be mitigated in the
future if you use proper topic branches for your patches, at least
the more invasive ones. This one didn't apply, because it was based
upon earlier patches of you that aren't applied and so no 3-way merge is
possible, because my git repository doesn't contain the necessary files.

I will fix up that one by hand now, since I already started with it.

I don't think this issue is worth a duplication for source packages.
So closing this bug.

Bug#507096: lintian: should library-not-linked-against-libc exclude debug library files?

[Adam D. Barratt]

On Fri, 28 Nov 2008 00:37:17 +0100, Frank Lichtenheld wrote:

http://lintian.debian.org/tags/library-not-linked-against-libc.html
certainly seems to suggest that.


From the few quick tests I've done, I believe the fact that the debug 
libraries are listed at all is due to an issue with the "etch objdump 
emulation" code, which I fixed in 6c73347d83c75d83dd5c01f6308ecfccc4fa793b; 
specifically, we should not attempt to run readelf on the library if objdump 
returned "invalid operation".


I'll check each of the packages listed, but at least anjuta-dbg and 
evolution-dbg do not produce the warnings when checked using HEAD in an etch 
chroot (in fact, anjuta-dbg also loses another debug-related warning 
relative to the version currently installed on lintian.d.o).
