See http://lintian.debian.org/tags/source-is-missing.html It's the package which sounds like it needs work. Lintian is indicating the problem. > See bug 744972 for some details, but basically the source for > foo/bar/baz.min.js doesn't need to be found in foo/bar and called > baz.js Isn't that what debian/missing-sources/ is meant to support? If the source exists but just not where lintian expects to find it but the report goes away once debian/missing-sources/ is fixed, that is fine. If missing-sources doesn't work as expected, that's a bug in lintian. The error report from lintian is still correct. Something in the package is wrong, either a missing debian/missing-sources/ listing or missing source. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
