Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.46
Severity: normal

Lintian does not recognise menu-2 format in debian/menu files. It
complains in the following way:

$ lintian -i qrfcview_0.62-5_i386.deb 
E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:1
N:
N:   The menu file contains an item that does not start with the text
N:   "?package(somepackage):". All menu file lines must test for the
N:   existence of a package in this way.
N:
E: qrfcview: menu-item-missing-required-tag needs /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:2
N:
N:   The menu item has a line that is missing a required tag. It's likely
N:   that the line will have no effect without this tag. install-menu may
N:   report this as an error during package installation.
N:
E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:3
E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:4
E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:5
E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:6
E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:7
E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:8
E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:9

though the menu file is in correct menu-2 format:

!C menu-2
?package(qrfcview):
  needs="X11"
  section="Applications/Text"
  title="qRFCView"
  description="RFC Viewer"
  command="/usr/bin/qRFCView"
  icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/qrfcview.xpm"
;

(see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/07/msg00000.html)

All packages in those pages:
http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/bad-test-in-menu-item.html
and
http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/menu-item-missing-required-tag.html
are simply using menu-2 format.

Notice that this bug report is different from #447391: I do not ask
you to put menu-2 as standard, simply not to choke on it.

Thanks for your work on Lintian,
Frédéric Lehobey

Description: 
 lintian    - Debian package checker

Changes: 
 lintian (1.23.49) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "Business as usual" release.
 .
   * checks/binaries:
     + [FL] Ignore rpaths to directories present in the same binary
       package.  Also ignore $ORIGIN since that obviously fulfills
       that criterion.  (Closes: #480636)
   * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
     + [FL] Implement new check for dh-make-perl boilerplate.
     + [FL] New check for example URL from dh-make.  Based on
       a patch by Michal Čihař.  (Closes: #481368)
   * checks/debhelper:
     + [FL] dh_lintian needs debhelper >= 6.0.7. Patch by David Paleino.
       (Closes: #479088)
     + [FL] Add basic support for debhelpers new dh utility.
       (Closes: #477628)
     + [FL] Suppress maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token for
       single-udeb-only packages as well.  (Closes: #471853)
   * checks/files:
     + [FL] Drop xresources-file-in-etc-without-proper-conflicts, since
       the last package that conflict applies to was released with hamm!
       Reported by Julien Cristau.  (Closes: #480574)
   * checks/menu-format:
     + [FL] Don't issue false positives about menu files in format menu-2.
       We don't check them for errors yet, though.  (Closes: #478578)
   * checks/patch-systems:
     + [FL] Add basic support for dpatch list files which use cpp for
       preprocessing.  Patch by Jörg Sommer.  (Closes: #477057)
   * checks/scripts:
     + [FL] Always use /bin/bash for shell script syntax check to give
       consistent errors on systems with changed /bin/sh.  Suggested
       by Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #478192)
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [FL] Don't issue a warning about Distribution: UNRELEASED in
       .changes files.  It can be annoying to have to ignore this error
       during testing and dupload/dput/dak/etc... all will error out
       on it anyway.  Suggested by martin f krafft.  (Closes: #382327)
     + [FL] Add a --keep-lab option to make it easier to debug temporary
       labs.  (Closes: #401046)
 .
   * lib/Util.pm:
     + [FL] Only require Digest::SHA if the code path is really used.
       This makes it unnessesary to install libdigest-sha-perl on
       lintian.debian.org for now.
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [FL] Document --keep-lab option.
     + [FL] Fix error in checkname: s/patch-system/patch-systems/.
       Reported by Jörg Sommer.
 .
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [FL] Escape $email variable for usage in URI query strings.
       Currently it is not used for anything else, so it is most simple
       to do it in the actual code.  Reported by Sandro Tosi.
       (Closes: #481256)
