Bug#507278: lintian: complains about uninitialized values for severity and certainty

Apologies for the amount of information requested, but the warnings suggest that something is quite broken, and I can't reproduce them locally. The above sounds like lintian's not reading the tag files from /usr/share/lintian/checks/*.desc properly. The number of occurrences of Tag:, Severity: and Certainty: in each file should match. Would it be possible to get hold of a copy of the package(s) you're checking? I've just done apt-get source ipsec-tools; pdebuild on an amd64 unstable box and lintian 2.1.0 didn't produce any perl warnings when run against the .changes, .dsc or .deb. Finally, do you have LINTIAN_ROOT set in your environment? Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The above sounds like lintian's not reading the tag files from /usr/share/lintian/checks/*.desc properly. The number of occurrences of Tag:, Severity: and Certainty: in each file should match. Ah. In that case, the problem is /usr/share/lintian/checks/emdebian.desc I didn't know that the desc file had to be updated. Would it be possible to get hold of a copy of the package(s) you're checking? I've just done apt-get source ipsec-tools; pdebuild on an amd64 unstable box and lintian 2.1.0 didn't produce any perl warnings when run against the .changes, .dsc or .deb. It would be good if lintian wasn't quite so noisy about such errors, hence I've cloned this as wishlist for lintian as well as reassigning to emdebian-tools. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/ pgp0tkI5mLuPN.pgp Description: PGP signature
