Bug#575192: [check/nmu] lintian do not understand changelog with several authors
Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.3
Severity: wishlist
To fix 574255 (critical security bug), I applied the patch provided by JC Dubacq
and uploaded the package to delayed-2. The changelog entry is:
+nvidia-kernel-common (20100216+3+nmu1) unstable; urgency=critical
+
+ [ Jean-Christophe Dubacq ]
+ * Non-maintainer upload.
+ * fix security bug for console users (closes: #574255)
+
+ [ Vincent Danjean ]
+ * Non-maintainer upload.
+ * Upload to delayed-2 queue
+
+ -- Vincent Danjean <vdanjean@debian.org> Wed, 24 Mar 2010 06:35:53 +0100
Lintian is complaining about not finding "Non-maintainer upload" on the first line.
Should not it look after the line with the name ?
If you think that the changelog entry should have been wrote:
+nvidia-kernel-common (20100216+3+nmu1) unstable; urgency=critical
+
+ * Non-maintainer upload.
+
+ [ Jean-Christophe Dubacq ]
+ * fix security bug for console users (closes: #574255)
+
+ [ Vincent Danjean ]
+ * Upload to delayed-2 queue
+
+ -- Vincent Danjean <vdanjean@debian.org> Wed, 24 Mar 2010 06:35:53 +0100
then, please, reassign this bug to devscripts (dch) as "dch -a" did not keep
"Non-maintainer upload." on the first line.
Regards
Vincent
