Package: lintian Version: 1.23.10 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/lintian I'm the maintainer of lksctp-tools. The debian/control file has amongst others two binary packages named lksctp-tools and lksctp-tools-doc. Running lintian gives me the following error messages: N: Processing source package lksctp-tools (version 1.0.2-3) ... E: lksctp-tools source: debian-control-with-duplicate-fields package:51, 74 E: lksctp-tools source: debian-control-with-duplicate-fields section:52, 75 E: lksctp-tools source: debian-control-with-duplicate-fields priority:53, 76 E: lksctp-tools source: debian-control-with-duplicate-fields architecture: 54, 77 E: lksctp-tools source: debian-control-with-duplicate-fields description: 56, 78 Obviously lintian believes that lksctp-tools and lksctp-tools-doc are the same binary package. Maybe it gets confused by the hyphen. Older versions of lintian didn't show this behaviour. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (499, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1-2 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.39-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii file 4.12-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.30+20040213 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii man-db 2.4.3-1 The on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5-perl] 5.8.7-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
