Bug#490591: lintian fails on sketch-doc 1:0.89

[David Bremner <bremner@unb.ca>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.46
Severity: normal


I'm not sure if something is wrong with my package or lintian, but
lintian gets an internal error when run on sketch-doc.  You can fetch
the package from the sid archive

% sudo aptitude reinstall sketch-doc
% lintian /var/cache/apt/archives/sketch-doc_1%3a0.2.89-1_all.deb
Can't use string ("1") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 418, <IN> line 5.
internal error: cannot run menus check on package sketch-doc
N: Skipping check of binary package sketch-doc
