When I run lintian on one of my packages, it gives me warnings about
useless calls to update-menus.
$ lintian -i nut-nutrition_10.20*changes
W: nut-nutrition: postinst-has-useless-call-to-update-menus
N:
N: The postinst script calls the update-menus program though no file is
N: installed in /usr/lib/menu or /etc/menu-methods.
N:
W: nut-nutrition: postrm-has-useless-call-to-update-menus
N:
N: The postrm script calls the update-menus program though no file is
N: installed in /usr/lib/menu or /etc/menu-methods
N:
Well, the warning is kind of right, I don't have a menu file in
/usr/lib/menu. But, that is because in Debian Policy section 3.1, it
says they should go in /usr/share/menu, which is where it is:
$ dpkg -L nut-nutrition | grep menu
/usr/share/menu
/usr/share/menu/nut-nutrition
Is this some new check added to lintian on purpose? It contradicts
current Debian policy...
