Package: lintian Version: 1.23.46 Hi, Lintian produces a warning "unknown-section base", but the description of that warning is: | The `Section:' field in this package's control file is not one of the | sections in use on the ftp archive. Valid sections are currently admin, | base, comm, devel, doc, editors, electronics, embedded, games, gnome, | graphics, hamradio, interpreters, kde, libdevel, libs, mail, math, misc, | net, news, oldlibs, otherosfs, perl, python, science, shells, sound, | tex, text, utils, web, and x11. | The section name should be preceded by `non-free/' if the package is in | the non-free distribution, and by `contrib/' if the package is in the | contrib distribution. | Refer to Policy Manual, section 2.4 for details. As you can see, "base" is clearly there, and so is it in policy 2.4. The list of affected packages is here: http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/unknown-section.html cheers, Thijs
