Bug#755785: lintian: Buggy rc-version-greater-than-expected-version check
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.25
Severity: normal
Hello,
Working on llvm packaging, if I set 3.5~+rc1, lintian wrongly complains with:
W: libclang1-3.5-dbg: rc-version-greater-than-expected-version 3.5~+rc1 > 3.5~ (consider using 3.5~~rc1)
The expected version is going to be 3.5, not 3.5~.
Thanks,
Sylvestre
PS: Yes, my name could be better. That is not the point :)
