The error suggests that the index file which Lintian has generated of
the orig tarball contains a line in an unexpected format as the first
line - specifically, it does not contain at least six space-separated
fields.
Unfortunately I'm currently unable to reproduce the error using either
Lintian 2.2.6 or current HEAD (on amd64/sid and in an i386/sid chroot).
If it's consistently failing for you, could you please re-run the test
passing --keep-lab and check what the first line of the file
"source/mailman/index" contains? (Using -v as well will indicate the
directory name used for the temporary lab).
Regards,
Adam
