Bug#376109: lintian: [lintian-info]: Add option to display specific desc of error/warning
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.22
Severity: wishlist
It would be handly if lintian-info contained option to display
description of each error by keyword, like:
lintian-info [-k error] [-k ...]
Like
lintian-into -k wrong-path-for-install-menu -k ...
The log file is not always available e.g. if you browse errors through
http://lintian.debian.org/reports/
or see an error mentioned in the mailing list, that catch one's
interest.
