It's a false positive and should be reported as a bug, if there is not one open for it already. The attached patch should fix it by only matching filenames that end in the string .gz, not merely contain it. You may add it to your bug if you wish, though lintian maintainers may have a better way to fix it. > Would an override of this Lintian warning be appropriate? At your discretion a temporary override would make your package look clean, but when the bug is fixed the warning will go away anyway and you will have to upload again to remove the override. There's no harm in just ignoring the warning. -- Jonathan Wiltshire PGP/GPG: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52
