Bug#458036: lintian.debian.org shows warnings about wrong version
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.41
Severity: minor
Hello,
lintian.debian.org should list only print warnings about the version
it actually checked rather than the latest package in the archive.
In more detail: (the following was sent in a mail to lintian-maint
and Russ Allberry suggested filing a bug report.)
lintian.debian.org (on 27 Dec 2007 11:00 UTC) for "conky" lists
warnings about long changelog entries and national encodings in
copyright files which were fixed in version 1.4.9-2 (at least
according to the local installation of lintian version 1.23.41).
The problem is perhaps that it refers to version 1.4.9-2 but has
actually only checked 1.4.9-1 since 1.4.9-2 has not yet been built
for i386 (as per the buildd.debian.org data at Thu, 27 Dec 2007 11:00
UTC). The source package for 1.4.9-2 and the binary for arm were
uploaded yesterday.
Regards,
Kapil.
