Bug#534940: lintian: inconsistent reporting of affected files
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.12
Severity: normal
Hi,
the way affected files are reported by linitian is inconsistent, some
tags report them with a leading './', others don't. E.g.
shared-lib-without-dependency-information ./usr/lib/libfoo.so.1.2.3
shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/libfoo.so.1.2.3
Probably only one form should be used and the ./ prefix is not needed
IMO.
Andreas
