Re: Re: help is welcome about the 'source-is-missing' error with the cherrytree packaging

Hi Andrius,

Many thanks for your reply.

I tried to figure out why lintian is not going nicely adding also a
debian/source/lintian-overrides file in my packaging.

$ cat cherrytree/debian/source/lintian-overrides
# Ignore missing sources errors for test files.
 source: source-is-missing tests/data_данные/*

$ file cherrytree/debian/source/lintian-overrides
cherrytree/debian/source/lintian-overrides: Unicode text, UTF-8 text

But then faced the following:

$ lintian -v cherrytree_0.99.55+dfsg-1.dsc
E: cherrytree source: source-is-missing [tests/data_даннÑ?е/test.export.html]
W: cherrytree source: mismatched-override source-is-missing tests/data_данные/* [debian/source/lintian-overrides:3]
W: cherrytree source: no-nmu-in-changelog [debian/changelog:1]
W: cherrytree source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 0.99.55+dfsg-1 [debian/changelog:1]
N: 0 hints overridden; 1 unused override

The encoding seems ok regarding the one of the lintian-overrides file.

Also with the help of Data::Dumper and adding some print in SourceMissing.pm, I do not see anything strange there.

What is astonishing me is that the Perl code of lintian uses calls to encode_utf8/decode_uf8 in many places of different modules instead of fixing utf8 IO once in each.
I finally got lost in translation. :-)

Best,
Patrice
