Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.30
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
The pkg-not-in-package-test has an explanation which goes as follows:
"The menu item doesn't tests to see if the package that contains it is
installed. This is probably an error. Perhaps it is spelled or capitalized
wrong, or perhaps the menu file was copied from some other package and this
was accidentally not changed."
Not only is the first sentence grammatically wrong, it is also pretty much
impossible to deduce from it what actually is the problem in question.
Best,
Teemu

* checks/changelog-file:
+ [RA] Only check for missing colons in bug closers in the most recent
changelog entry. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #423171)
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [RA] Update architectures to dpkg 1.14.1. Remove all linux-*
architectures and add armel. (Closes: #421995)

+ [RA] Change unknown-control-file to a warning, since Policy only
discourages it and doesn't outlaw it. (Closes: #287209)
* checks/cruft:
+ [RA] Allow any automake package to satisfy the autotools-dev build
dependency for suppressing warnings about out of date autotools
helper files. (Closes: #417067)
* checks/fields:
+ [RA] Require libmodule-build-perl in Build-Depends if the clean rule
runs perl Build. Hopefully this isn't too aggressive. Thanks, Ian
Beckwith. (Closes: #421549)
* checks/files:
+ [RA] Don't warn about LICENSE files in Zope products, since they may
be used for runtime display. (Closes: #424164)

from Kevin B. McCarty. (Closes: #423229)

manual reference. (Closes: #423519)

trailing blank lines in the file. doc-base is fine with this.

+ [RA] Add pagsh, provided by openafs-client and heimdal-clients.
+ [RA] Diagnose removal of device files in maintainer scripts per
Policy 10.6. (Closes: #268688)

+ [RA] Add jed and friends. Thanks, Jörg Sommer. (Closes: #426469)
+ [RA] Move several maintainer script checks specific to shell scripts
inside the conditional so that they won't run on maintainer scripts
not written in shell.
+ [RA] Diagnose maintainer scripts looking at /var/lib/dpkg/status
directly. Thanks, Guillem Jover. (Closes: #426628)
+ [RA] Diagnose direct modifications to /etc/services, /etc/protocols,
/etc/rpc, and /etc/inetd.conf in maintainer scripts. (Yes, an
eight-year-old bug!) (Closes: #32532)
* checks/version-substvars{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Add a check for deprecated ${Source-Version} substvars. Patch
from Guillem Jover. (Closes: #427577)
