Bug#295072: Several stderr output running lintian on all packages
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.8
Severity: minor
Unfortunately, I cannot see which packages caused this behaviour, but in
any case, lintian shouldn't normally emit warnings on stderr, but rather
detect and make it a lintian warning.
We should probably also make harness put these warnings in the
lintian.log or something, or make lintian frontend itself capture stderr
and turn that into a generic W: makes-lintian-barf <error> warnings.
This is the full list of a full lintian run on unstable:
