Package: lintian Version: 2.2.12 Severity: minor Some makefiles call install-info which creates a usr/share/info/dir file. This file is to be updated at package installation, so it shouldn't be present in the binary package. Actually lintian reports it as an info-document-missing-dir-section warning which is not relevant. A dedicated message should say to remove that file. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable-i386 APT policy: (500, 'unstable-i386'), (500, 'transitional-i386'), (500, 'oldstable-i386'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.19.1-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.3 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-6 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.23 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libipc-run-perl 0.82-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.5-2 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-pe 5.10.0-23 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.

The version of Lintian in unstable should do what you want. -- Russ Allbery (rra@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
