Bug#553274: lintian: bogus spelling-error-in-binary
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: minor
lintian says that there is a spelling error in a binary, but the
allegedly misspelled string is neither found in the sources nor in the
binary itself:
$ wget -q http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libvigraimpex/libvigraimpex2ldbl_1.6.0+dfsg-1_i386.deb
$ lintian --display-info --display-experimental *.deb | head -n1
X: libvigraimpex2ldbl: spelling-error-in-binary ./usr/lib/libvigraimpex.so.2.0.160 unkown unknown
$ dpkg-deb -x *.deb . && grep -c unkown ./usr/lib/libvigraimpex.so.2.0.160
