Package: lintian Version: 2.13.0 Severity: wishlist In LP#1827044 I reported a package that has a bogus debian/changelog:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/+bug/1827044 binutils (2.29-8ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium * Merge with Debian; remaining changes: - Build from upstream sources. -- Matthias Klose <d...@ubuntu.com> Wed, 30 Aug 2017 08:13:33 +0200 * -- Matthias Klose <doko@x1> Wed, 13 Dec 2017 10:50:43 +0000 That causes the debian Python module to emit warnings: $ python3 -c 'from debian import changelog as c; f = open("debian/changelog"); c.Changelog(f)' /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/changelog.py:484: UserWarning: Unexpected line while looking for next heading of EOF: * warnings.warn(message) /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/changelog.py:484: UserWarning: Unexpected line while looking for next heading of EOF: -- Matthias Klose <doko@x1> Wed, 13 Dec 2017 10:50:43 +0000 warnings.warn(message) That changelog doesn't trigger a warning from lintian though. It would be nice for lintian to emit warnings about changelog entries that are missing headers, bodies or footers. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (900, 'testing-debug'), (900, 'testing'), (860, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (850, 'buildd-testing-proposed-updates'), (800, 'unstable-debug'), (800, 'unstable'), (790, 'buildd-unstable'), (700, 'experimental-debug'), (700, 'experimental'), (690, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.31.1-16 ii bzip2 1.0.6-9 ii diffstat 1.62-1 ii dpkg 1.19.6 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.6 ii file 1:5.35-4 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-9 ii gpg 2.2.12-1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.34+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.64-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.40-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.41-1+b1 pn libdigest-sha-perl <none> ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.6 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libio-async-perl 0.72-1 ii libipc-run-perl 20180523.0-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b4 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-13 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.108-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii liburi-perl 1.76-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.76+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.5-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.28.1-6 ii t1utils 1.41-3 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b5 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.31.1-16 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b3 ii libtext-template-perl 1.55-1 -- no debconf information -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
