Bug#765166: lintian -- False positives on - license-problem-gfdl-invariants



Hi Ryan!

* Ryan Kavanagh <rak@debian.org>, 2016-06-09, 17:41:
The following License section also causes a false positive:

#############
License: GFDL-1.1+
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no
Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover
Texts.
#############

The exact lintian error is:

E: vera source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants debian/copyright invariant part is: with no invariant sections, with no front-cover texts, and with no back-cover texts. comment: upstream comments:

I can't reproduce this. But anyway, it's probably a different problem that the one Jörg reported.

Could you file a separate bug and tell us exactly how to reproduce it?

Adding a separate warning mentioning that the DEP5 license name should be GFDL-NIV-1.1+ in the above case would help.

Please file a separate bug for this, too.
