Bug#329458: man page lies about exit codes
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.12
Severity: normal
The man page claims that lintian exits with code 1 if 'E' tags were
issued. This doesn't seem to be true at least since the refactoring
of the check calling code.
I'm not sure if we should adjust the man page or the code, therefor
this bug as a reminder.
Gruesse,
