Bug#563585: Use of uninitialized value $next in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/lintian/checks/changelog-file line 179, <IN> line 6.
Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.1
Severity: minor
Hi
Checking a package (in my case dh-make-perl and libmodule-build-perl)
I get a warning from lintian:
Use of uninitialized value $next in pattern match (m//) at
/usr/share/lintian/checks/changelog-file line 179, <IN> line 6.
It is related to the NEWS file only having one entry, and thus $next
uninitialized?
Bests
