Bug#496295: lintian: should produce all error messages and only then exit
Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.4
Severity: minor
When I have supplied wrong file name to lintian, I have got the next
output:
-8<-
jackyf@1501-debian:~/download/build/html2text-experimental$ lintian -ivI html2text_1.3.2a-7_amd64.
N: Setting up lab in /tmp/q8OCuUwaoM ...
error: cannot find binary, udeb or source package html2text_1.3.2a-7_amd64. in dist or lab (skipping)
jackyf@1501-debian:~/download/build/html2text-experimental$ N: No packages selected.
N: Removing /tmp/q8OCuUwaoM ...
->8-
Seems that lintian in such case exits before it prints all necessary
error messages, which is confusing me a bit.
