Bug#401070: lintian: Consider not complaining about files in /var/lib/aspell without md5sum
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.26
Severity: wishlist
Hi, I see that in
lintian (1.23.25) of 8 Oct 2006, this check was added
* checks/md5sums:
+ [RA] aspell dictionary packages may ship files in /var/lib/aspell
that should not have MD5 checksums in md5sums because they change
after installation. Don't complain that those files are missing.
Same applies to files created under /var/lib/ispell by ispell-autobuildhash.
As a matter of fact, aspell autobuildhash code was inspired in
ispell-autobuildhash. Please consider also lintian not complaining if no
md5sum is provided for those files.
I have played with attached patch,
