Package: lintian Version: 2.2.14 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I'm not sure how to debug this issue, but lintian is complaining about some errors in man pages, where I'm unable to get same errors from man. The problematic thing is line adjustment: W: rpm: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man8/rpmbuild.8.gz 85: warning [p 2, 0.0i]: cannot adjust line I've added patch to add \: at several places, what should ensure that groff is able to adjust he line and it actually is able, but I still get the warning from lintian even though man does not complain anymore: $ LANG=C man --warnings -l /usr/share/man/man8/rpmbuild.8.gz >/dev/null $ There must be some difference how lintian does the man page checks, which makes it warn in cases when it probably should not. The questioned man page is attached to this bug report or in package rpm in case you want to test it. - -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com - -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27.23-0.1-default (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.19.51.20090805-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.3.1 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-6 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libipc-run-perl 0.84-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchange 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.5-3 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-p 5.10.0-24 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
