Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: general
Version: N/A; reported 2001-03-03
Severity: normal
I think too many packages are affected to submit bug reports on each
one (and still not catch all of them, only the ones I have installed).
About half of "chown" commands in various scripts use the wrong syntax
"chown user.group" instead of the correct "chown user:group".
Quote from the fileutils manual:
# You may use `.' in place of the `:' separator. This is a GNU
# extension for compatibility with older scripts. New scripts should
# avoid the use of `.' because GNU `chown' may fail if OWNER contains `.'
# characters.
The use of "chown user:group" also conforms to the Single UNIX Spec.
Perhaps a good way to get all these packages fixed could be to hack
the "chown" command to print a warning if '.' is used instead of ':'.
Or (crazy idea, for unstable only!) temporarily make that warning an
error, and wait for lots of bug reports to come ;). Comments?

Changes:
lintian (1.23.10) unstable; urgency=low
.
* The "Ah, it's LinuxTag and I still have free time!" release
.
* debian/control:
+ [HE] Updated description to say that we're calibrated for Policy
version 3.6.2. As the changes between 3.6.{1,2} aren't stuff we
(can) check, this is actually true! (Closes: #317049)
.
* testset/runtests:
+ [HE] Fix symlinking of original tarballs to allow run directories
outside the lintian source tree.
.
* checks/control-file
+ [HE] Check for duplicated fields. (Closes: #299792)
.
* checks/fields:
+ [HE] Change unknown-architecture a bit: We don't complain about
"known" non-standard archs (like amd64, ppc64, *bsd-i386) and only
print out an info message for those. (Closes: #253405, #311471)
.
* checks/files:
+ [HE] Allow backupninja configuration files in /etc/backup.d/ to be
0600. (Closes: #307639)
.
* checks/scripts:
+ [HE] Allow Scripts in /etc/Xsession.d/ to be not executable, as they're
not directly called, but only sourced. (Closes: #309203)
+ [HE] Check for use of adduser and update-inetd and warn if the package
has no (pre-)dependency on adduser/netbase. Patch by Russ Allbery,
thanks for the work. (Closes: #308569)
+ [HE] Check for use of "." as a deprecated separator between user and
group names in chown call. (Closes: #88340)
+ [HE] Fix to work $interpreter-script-but-no-$pkg-dep with more than one
dependency if needed. First use case is depending on build-essential
to provide /usr/bin/make. (Closes: #294894)
+ [HE] Add lefty as a valid interpreter and check for a correct dependency
on graphviz. (Closes: #295093)
.
* checks/shared-libs:
+ [HE] Don't allow non-PIC shared libraries. This conforms to the new
etch release policy. Thanks for the report and patch to Kurt Roeckx
<kurt@roeckx.be>. (Closes: #309220)
