Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.16
Severity: normal
I have CDPATH set in my environment. This causes "cd" to print the new
working directory, which in turn confuses lintian's
has-errors-from-man detector so that a bogus error is reported.
lintian should clean its environment before doing any tests that use a
shell.
Greetings
Marc

Changes:
lintian (1.23.17) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "happy Nanaimo hacking" release
.
* checks/binaries:
+ [RA] Detect klibc binaries from their requested interpreter and
allow them to appear static. (Closes: #328850)
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [RA] Include all combinations of cpu and os from the dpkg cputable
and ostable files (as of dpkg 1.13.16). (Closes: #337034, #357433)
+ [RA] Include a list of known X metapackages.
* checks/control-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Warn if debian/control in a source package is a symlink.
* checks/copyright-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Don't assume mentions of GPL or GNU General Public License
after what look like mail headers are referring to the license of
the package. Be a bit more specific in the old FSF address check
to avoid false positives on other Cambridge, MA addresses. Reported
by Adam C. Powell IV. (Closes: #205934)
* checks/debconf:
+ [RA] Allow Indices as a template field. cdebconf uses it and
debconf ignores it. Reported by Frans Pop. (Closes: #361986)
* checks/debdiff{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Warn if the diff contains debian/substvars. Based on a patch
by Michael Ablassmeier. (Closes: #359646)
* checks/debhelper.desc:
+ [RA] When explaining the warning about deprecated debhelper
compatibility versions, mention that debhelper defaults to version 1
if not set anywhere. (Closes: #360711)
+ [RA] Move simple man page references from Info into Ref.
* checks/fields{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Allow dpatch in Build-Depends for arch-independent packages if
it is invoked in clean, build-arch, or binary-arch.
+ [RA] Only list examples of non-standard architectures, since there
are now too many combinations to list completely.
+ [RA] Catch dependencies on X metapackages, based on a patch by Josh
Triplett. No packages are allowed to build-depend, and only
packages that look like metapackages (arch: all, no files outside of
/usr/share/doc) are allowed to depend. (Closes: #347169)
+ [RA] Look for an explicit section of unknown, probably left over
from dh_make templates, and diagnose it with an error rather than a
warning. Reported by Jari Aalto. (Closes: #355032)
+ [RA] Reorganize dependency checking based on debian/rules analysis.
Diagnose missing build dependencies on the helper packages we know
about, catch cases where Build-Depends-Indep should be Build-Depends
because of the clean target, and make sure users of dh_python
build-depend on python. yada is no longer a special case.
(Closes: #242789, #278290)
+ [RA] Check for conflicting with dependencies and build-conflicting
with build dependencies. (Closes: #122760)
+ [RA] Allow xfonts-utils in dependencies. It's not actually an X
font package.
* checks/files{.desc,}:
+ [RA] For the X.Org 7 transition, add explicit checks for fonts and
binaries installed in /usr/X11R6. Rename the existing check for
other files in /usr/X11R6 since the tag had a pluralization error
and we want package maintainers to see the error again and
reconsider whether to ignore it. No packages should be installing
files in /usr/X11R6 going forward. Remove the policy cross-refs for
right now until policy catches up.
* checks/manpages:
+ [RA] Use system_env instead of system and sanitize the environment
before running man -l out of caution and to avoid extraneous output
when CDPATH is set. Reported by Marc Haber. (Closes: #360217)
* checks/nmu{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Warn if debian/changelog in a native source package is a
symlink and skip checks rather than aborting if it was a symlink to
a file we didn't unpack. (Closes: #257650)
* checks/po-debconf:
+ [RA] Use system_env instead of system out of caution and to avoid
extraneous output when CDPATH is set.
* checks/rules{.desc,}:
+ [RA] A new set of checks that parses debian/rules and checks for
required rules, debian/rules as a symlink, and the correct first
line. Based heavily on previous work by René van Bevern.
(Closes: #294926, #311786)
* checks/scripts{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Ignore text inside single quotes and, for most checks, text
inside double quotes when checking for bashisms. Reported by Frank
Küster. (Closes: #344266)
+ [RA] Change canonical zsh path to /bin/zsh at the request of the zsh
maintainer. (Closes: #360534)
+ [RA] Change the check for broken error handling with invoke-rc.d to
maintainer-script-hides-init-failure to be more generic and explain
what the test looks at. Add the script name and line number and fix
a typo. Thanks, Marc Haber. (Closes: #360214, #360216)
+ [RA] Warn when maintainer scripts run init scripts directly and
don't use invoke-rc.d. Thanks, Lars Wirzenius. (Closes: #353659)
+ [RA] Find missing ucf dependencies and restructure the code to allow
easier addition of similar checks. (Closes: #261891)
+ [RA] Add python2.5, lua50, gbx, and gbx2 to the list of valid
interpreters. (Closes: #361601, #361644, #362566)
* checks/shared-libs:
+ [RA] Limit shlib-without-PT_GNU_STACK-section to only those
architectures where gcc always adds the section. Thanks to Frans
Pop for the report and Bastian Blank for the architecture list.
(Closes: #357636)
.
* collection/objdump-info:
+ [RA] Unset CDPATH before running cd to avoid strange effects from
the user's environment.
+ [RA] Run readelf -l to collect interpreter information.
.
* lib/Dep.pm:
+ [RA] Add initial support for analyzing architecture information in
dependencies instead of ignoring it.
* lib/Read_taginfo.pm:
+ [RA] Add support for formatting man page references from Ref.
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [RA] Add system_env, like system but sanitizing the environment.
.
* man/lintian.1:
+ [RA] Mention the new rules check class.
