Bug#379558: lintian: php-script-but-no-php4-cli-dep vs. php5-cli
Package: lintian Version: 1.23.22 Severity: wishlist Hi, while packaging something locally, I got the 'php-script-but-no-php4-cli-dep' warning from lintian although the package depends on php5-cli. Shouldn't this package suffice to provide a cli php interpreter? Perhaps change this check to /usr/bin/php4 ==> php4-cli /usr/bin/php5 ==> php5-cli /usr/bin/php ==> php5-cli | php4-cli There seems to be no php-cli-interpreter virtual package that could be depended upon.

Bug#622888: lintian: multi-arch libraries with arch-dependent overrides
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.0~rc2 Severity: normal Hi, I just came across a possible problem with multi-arch support of libraries that have arch-dependent overrides. I do not mean overrides that simply differ in the triplet, that is covered in bug #617991: "lintian overrides should support more precise pattern matching". The more interesting case is a package that has actually different overrides per arch and therefore can't be covered by better wildcard matching. For example the libgl1-nvidia-glx package has the following (and some more) overrides on i386: # The NVIDIA license does not allow any form of modification. libgl1-nvidia-glx: binary-has-unneeded-section libgl1-nvidia-glx: shared-lib-without-dependency-information libgl1-nvidia-glx: shlib-with-non-pic-code libgl1-nvidia-glx: shlib-without-PT_GNU_STACK-section libgl1-nvidia-glx: spelling-error-in-binary and on amd64: # The NVIDIA license does not allow any form of modification. libgl1-nvidia-glx: binary-has-unneeded-section libgl1-nvidia-glx: shared-lib-without-dependency-information libgl1-nvidia-glx: shlib-with-executable-stack libgl1-nvidia-glx: spelling-error-in-binary Installing different overrides files in different architectures of a Multi-Arch: same package will cause a file conflict on /usr/share/lintian/overrides/ as described in http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation "Note that any files in /usr/share or /etc must be byte-for-byte identical across architectures, otherwise file conflicts will result! ..." Installing a superset of the overrides on all architectures will cause unused-override warnings (which could be overridden ...). I see the follwing possible solutions, but there are probably more and better ones: 1. allow installation of overrides in /usr/share/lintian/overrides/: (using the multi-arch selection syntax for dpkg and friends) or /usr/share/lintian/overrides/. (but that allows for file conflicts between packages "foobar" and "foobar.i386") or whatever suffix dpkg will use to distinguish files from same package, different arch in /var/lib/dpkg/info. This could be done automatically by dh_lintian when encountering a debian/[.]lintian-overrides. file for a Multi-Arch: same package in debian/compat level 9. Lintian needs to be changed to prefer overrides/: over overrides/. A package providing more than one file in /usr/share/lintian/overrides/ is malformed. 2. add : suffix to the overrides as in libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386: shlib-with-non-pic-code libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64: shlib-with-executable-stack libgl1-nvidia-glx: spelling-error-in-binary and ignore override entries for foreign architectures. The : suffix may not be used for Arch: all packages. A disadvantage I see here is that it is not easy to exclude an override for just one architecture, one has to enumerate all other archs and add the override for them. This could be solved by 3.: 3. add architecture selection similar to dpkg as in libgl1-nvidia-glx [i386]: shlib-with-non-pic-code libgl1-nvidia-glx [!i386]: shlib-with-executable-stack libgl1-nvidia-glx [amd64, i386]: spelling-error-in-binary Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi,
thanks for implementing arch-specific overrides. Due to a small logic
error, the negated ones do not work. This patch for Tags.pm fixes that
behaviour:

Bug#642339: [PATCH] distinguish between is_empty and is_dummy
The $is_empty variable can't be used to distinguish transitional packages.
Instead add a $is_dummy variable for tracking the result from analyzing
the description for dummy/transitional/meta package keywords.
Fix the files-arch-indep-not-marked-all test to use a package that
is neither transitional nor empty.

Bug#658210: lintian: update-alternatives --install/--remove should only be used in pairs
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.4 Severity: wishlist Hi, update-alternatives should only be used in pairs. Usually postinst will register an alternative with update-alternatives --install ... There should be a corresponding update-alternatives --remove ... in prerm (postrm would be ok, too, but leaves a short period of breakage where the alternative is dangling). There are currently about 15 packages in sid that forget to remove the alternative on package removal. It would be nice if lintian could check for having matching pairs of this command. A package may register multiple alternatives - and all should be removed. Removing obsolete alternatives in preinst/postinst should not be accounted for. There are some packages that do a bit of "magic" using alternatives, e.g. glx-alternatives [source, contrib], nvidia-alternative [binary, non-free] and may produce false positives in such a check.

Bug#896675: lintian: false positive non-consecutive-debian-revision on source package rename
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.83
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just forked src:nvidia-settings-legacy-390xx from src:nvidia-settings,
the changelog looks like this:
nvidia-settings-legacy-390xx (390.48-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Initial release of nvidia-settings for use with the legacy 390xx driver.
* Build only a single binary package, no -dev package or shared library.
-- Andreas Beckmann Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:34:56 +0200
nvidia-settings (390.48-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Add Provides+Conflicts: nvidia-settings-gtk-${nvidia:Version} to prevent
file conflicts with the legacy package built from the same upstream
version.
* Use dh_missing --fail-missing.
-- Andreas Beckmann Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:22:08 +0200
...
Reusing version numbers or going backwards is safe in this case since
the source package (and all remaining binary packages) got renamed, but
lintian triggers non-consecutive-debian-revision anyway.

Just out of interest... I have some scripts based on Ralf Treinen's work to analyze the Contents files for potential conflicts and DOSE for theoretical co-installability checks. Then I use piuparts to do the actual test. Since this needs "random" combinations of packages, these problems usually do not show up during regular piuparts tests. These tests are run irregularily by both Ralf (not using piuparts) and me (with piuparts, also doing cross-distro tests). > Any other suggestions for overly-generic /usr/include/foo.h files > whilst we are at it? Not really. We will see what the future brings. Andreas

Thanks! update-inetd demoted the error to a warning for now: #909758 let me try some description: The maintainer scripts contain calls to update-inetd with invalid parameter combinations. While these have been ignored in the past, they cause a warning now (which will become an error in the future). For example, the --group parameter is only valid in combination with --add and --pattern is only valid without --add. Andreas

I'll need such an explanation for the long description. :) Installing files over symlinks may silently overwrite files from other packages without dpkg noticing. Also depending on the unpacking order either a symlink or a directory will be created, the latter resulting in two separate trees in the filesystem which may break stuff (because some headers cannot be found in /usr/include/python3.7m/).

Bug#880430: lintian: check for invalid arguments to dpkg-maintscript-helper
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.57 Severity: normal I just came around this incorrect dpkg-maintscript-helper invocation in libreoffice-sdbc-firebird (#880426): # Automatically added by dh_installdeb/10.9 dpkg-maintscript-helper dir_to_symlink /usr/share/doc/libreoffice-sdbc-firebird /usr/share/doc/libreoffice-core 1:5.0.3\~rc1-2 \$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE -- "$@" # End automatically added section This is caused by dh_installdeb escaping shell metacaracters in compat level 10, so the (superfluous) $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE argument that worked in compat level 9 becomes an invalid package name now, and makes d-m-h explode. This error may not be recognized easily in standard testing since d-m-h will skip the operation depending on the version argument. And it is likely that a debian/*.maintscript file that worked in compat level 9 will be a noop in most upgrade paths nowadays, creating a timebomb for a case where the newer package gets installed over an even older one ... src:libreoffice has two of these errors, but only one is triggered in piuparts (I only found this because there is no libreoffice-sdbc-firebird in stretch and an upgrade from jessie->stretch->buster is actually an upgrade jessie->buster for this package and needs the d-m-h commands to run) I'm not sure how to correctly detect this from lintian, but any package name argument containing escaped shell meta characters is invalid. Andreas
Bug#880430: lintian: check for invalid arguments to dpkg-maintscript-helper
And now I've hit myself with a quoted version number in a .maintscript that got ~ and + escaped by debhelper 10: '20100216+1~' ==> '20100216\+1\~' single quotes and backslash escaping is too much ... after unquoting: 20100216+1~ ==> 20100216\+1\~ See #881990, nvidia-kernel-common 20151021+5.

Bug#884817: lintian: check for override_dh_clean target missing call to dh_clean
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.65 Severity: normal Hi, I just filed two bugs against packages not cleaning up properly during debian/rules clean after building the binary packages because the override_dh_clean target does not call dh_clean (and the package build directories are left under debian/): #884419 against torbrowser-launcher/experimental #884815 against jenkins-job-builder/experimental This is probably something lintian could check for. Maybe also check the regular clean target in debhelperized packages to either call dh_clean or dh clean. Andreas

No package in the archive (except perhaps fglrx-driver in non-free, there may be an unused spelling correction of thE or something alike), but I just submitted a patch for openmprtl (#775257) for switching to a proper soname, so the related overrides should go away. In the patch the libiomp5.lintian-overrides gets deleted, but lintian didn't report anything unused before I did this.

Bug#580494: lintian: stronger-dependency-implies-weaker false positives on package names containing substvars
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
lintian reports incorrectly
W: nvidia-graphics-drivers source: stronger-dependency-implies-weaker
libcuda1-ia32 recommends -> suggests nvidia-kernel${nvidia:Legacy}-source (>=
${nvidia:Version})
for the following contruct in debian/control:
Package: libcuda1
Recommends: nvidia-kernel${nvidia:Legacy}-${nvidia:Version}
Suggests: nvidia-kernel${nvidia:Legacy}-source (>= ${nvidia:Version})
Looks like lintian only considers 'nvidia-kernel' as the package name,
omitting the substvars and everything coming after them. For the source
package the full package name including unsubstituted substvars should be
considered when comparing them, "collisions" (= different substitutions
resulting in the same package name really creating a
stronger-dependency-implies-weaker relalationship) can be detected in the
binary packages.
Andreas

So I've started bisecting between 2.29.0 and 2.30.0 ... In case you have some hints for "speeding up" bisecting lintian, you could add them to some readme. Right now I'm working in a minimal stretch+backports chroot with B-D installed, doing a (parallel) 'debian/rules binary' for each step, waiting for test failures.

Found it:
https://perldoc.perl.org/perl5260delta.html#scalar(%25hash)-return-signature-changed
stretch$ perl -e '%a = (1,2,3); print scalar %a, " -- ", scalar keys %a, "\n";'
2/8 -- 2
buster$ perl -e '%a = (1,2,3); print scalar %a, " -- ", scalar keys %a, "\n";'
2 -- 2
Some documentation of the old behavior:
https://www.perlmonks.org/?node=perldata
"If you evaluate a hash in a scalar context, it returns a value that is true if
and only if the hash contains any key/value pairs. (If there are any key/value
pairs, the value returned is a string consisting of the number of used buckets
and the number of allocated buckets, separated by a slash. ..."
A backwards compatible solution should be the use of "scalar keys %hash"
(which also occurs about a dozen times in the code).
I only found two obvious occurrences of "scalar %hash" in current git master:
./lib/Lintian/DepMap.pm:162:unless ($parents || scalar
%{$self->{'nodes'}{$node}{'parents'}}) {
./lib/Lintian/Processable/Pool.pm:347:return scalar %{$self->groups} == 0;

PS: backporting coreutils 8.30 to stretch locally was a trivial no-change
rebuild
PPS: I'll now try a 2.32.0 stretch backport with the above "keys" fix and
locally backported coreutils
(I had to build lintianwith nocheck due to several tests failing due to
coreutils
not being 8.30 at build time (and maybe other errors))
Bug#944258: lintian 2.32.0~bpo9+1 in stretch-backports depends on coreutils (>= 8.30), but stretch has only 8.26-3
Hi Michael, what is your opinion on a backport of coreutils 8.30-3 to stretch? Background: lintian recently bumped the dependency to coreutils (>= 8.30) because it uses some newer feature, breaking its backport to stretch. (#944258) I could build it on stretch(+stretch-backports?) without needing to do any changes to the package and I'm running this on a single machine (running stretch with a selected set of packages from backports, buster and sid) without having encountered problems so far. But I'd prefer not to take the responsibility of doing an official backport of a core package like coreutils. IMO this would be better done by you (as coreutils maintainer) or the lintian maintainers (since this is needed for the lintian backport). Andreas

A package built from src:python3.x or src:python3-defaults might ship such a file, but no ordinary python3-$MODULE package. (Maybe python3-examples could.) Maybe ask the python maintainers whether /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/examples/ is a "namespace invasion". >> in case lintian uses some wildcards for this >> check) to the list of overly generic file names. > > Please forgive me.

Bug#954743: lintian: orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature does not say how to add it to uploaded tarballs

I did this with the sendmail package in sid some time ago ... including importing the signature into pristine-tar. I don't remember the details, but the tricky part was to correctly convert upstream's .sig into a .asc ... With multi-component source tarballs, you can also add more components in later (-sa) uploads (I've done this with nvidia-cuda-toolkit and nvidia-graphics-drivers), so I assumed this would work for adding .asc as well. I haven't tried removing components (or .asc), yet ;-) Andreas
Bug#956146: lintian: check for rules enabling --as-needed
Package: lintian Version: 2.63.0 Severity: wishlist Hi, if I understood correctly, the bullseye toolchain defaults to linking with --as-needed. Therefore it should no longer be neccessary to inject -Wl,--as-needed into the build process, allowing d/rules to be further minimized. Some common ways of adding --as-needed that I found in the (possibly ancient) rules files on my local hard disk: export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,--as-needed (may include further flags) (may be quoted, spaced, wrapped) (may use :=) dh_autoreconf --as-needed LDFLAGS += -Wl,--as-needed (may include further flags) (may be quoted, spaced, wrapped) (may use =, :=, export) dh_auto_configure -- -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" $(MAKE) -C ... ... CC='$(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -Wall -Wl,--as-needed $(LDFLAGS)' ... Andreas
Bug#956227: lintian: false positive package-relation-with-self with foreign arch qualification
Package: lintian
Version: 2.64.0
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just tried to get rid of primus-libs-ia32 by changing the Recommends
in primus-libs from
primus-libs-ia32 (= ${binary:Version}) [amd64],
to
primus-libs:i386 (= ${binary:Version}) [amd64],
This nowadays works fine and I couldn't find any documentation saying
that arch-qualified Depends/Recommends/... are (still) forbidden. IIRC
they were not allowed(/working) at the introduction of multi-arch ...
The package looks like this:
Package: primus-libs
Source: primus
Version: 0~20150328-11
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Debian NVIDIA Maintainers
Installed-Size: 273
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), libgcc-s1 (>= 3.0), libglapi-mesa (>= 20.0.4),
libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), libx11-6, libgl1, libglx-mesa0
Recommends: primus-libs:i386 (= 0~20150328-11), libprimus-vk1
Section: utils
Priority: optional
Multi-Arch: same
Homepage: https://github.com/amonakov/primus
Description: shared libraries for primus
and Lintian emits
W: primus-libs: package-relation-with-self recommends: primus-libs:i386 (=
0~20150328-11)
which is not really a self-relation.
(Foreign-arch qualified Depends are probably not that useful, because
installation would require the foreign architecture to be enabled.
But Recommends do work fine if the foreign architecture is enabled and
do nothing otherwise.)

Bug#956146: lintian: check for rules enabling --as-needed
Control: tag -1 - moreinfo On 09/04/2020 01.01, Chris Lamb wrote: > Any input on whether a brute grep for "-Wl,--as-needed" in debian/ > rules would be sufficient to catch most instances of these? (Feel free I think you can just grep for '--as-needed', that will catch -Wl,--as-needed (2579 matches) dh_autoreconf.* --as-needed (238 matches) -Wl,.*,--as-needed (9 matches) The only 'legitimate' use of --as-needed seems to be in combination with --no-as-needed. Therefore you should exclude matches that also have --no-as-needed on the same (logical) line (but include them if the matches are on different lines), e.g. nethack: LIB_x11 = -lncurses -lXaw -Wl,--as-needed -lXmu -lXext -Wl,--no-as-needed -lXt -lXpm -lX11 -Wl,--as-needed -lm -Wl,--no-as-needed haproxy: MAKEARGS+= ADDLIB="-Wl,--no-as-needed -lgcc_s -Wl,--as-needed" grep: LIBS=-Wl,--no-as-needed -ldl -Wl,--as-needed graphviz: CONFIGURE_LIBS= LIBS="-Wl,--no-as-needed -Wl,-lpthread -Wl,--as-needed" pnetcdf: LDFLAGS:=$(shell dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS) -Wl,--no-as-needed -lgfortran -Wl,--as-needed clazy: export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,--no-as-needed -latomic -Wl,--as-needed (there are ~26 matches for --no-as-needed, ~2865 for --as-needed and ~6 for both on one line) Andreas

Bug#965140: lintian: dh-exec-subst-unknown-variable on dh-exec --with=filter
Package: lintian
Version: 2.83.0
Severity: normal
This .install file gives two lintian false positives:
#!/usr/bin/dh-exec --with=filter

nsight_systems/${env:NSIGHT_SYSTEMS_TARGET_DIR}/usr/lib/nsight-systems/

I: nvidia-cuda-toolkit source: dh-exec-subst-unknown-variable
debian/nsight-systems.install env:NSIGHT_SYSTEMS_TARGET_DIR
The variable substitution is left to debhelper-compat 13, dh-exec is only
needed for the architecture filtering part.

PS: dh-exec on the .docs file does not work due to the wildcard (#964754)
