The output should be:
N: Lintian v2.2.18
N: Lintian root directory: /usr/share/lintian
N: Configuration file: /etc/lintianrc
N: Laboratory:
N: Archive directory:
N: Distribution:
N: Default unpack level: 1
N: Architecture: any
N: ----
N: Setting up lab in /tmp/BZlkcVrWuN ...
N: Processing 1 packages...
N: Selected action: check
N: Requested unpack level: 1
It's dying somewhere between setting up the lab and starting to check
packages, probably while loading information about the checks and
collection scripts.
Could you try running lintian with -d -d -d instead to get a more detailed
trace?
Nowhere does Lintian just randomly exit without printing an error, so
something very strange is going wrong with your Lintian setup.
