Bug#624149: Doesn't like running in /.

["Trent W. Buck" <trentbuck@gmail.com>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0~rc3
Severity: minor

I noticed that when files are in / (don't ask), lintian gets confused.

    root@blood:/# lintian haskell-mmap_0.5.7-1.dsc
    warning: the authors of lintian do not recommend running it with root privileges!
    W: haskell-mmap source: changelog-should-mention-nmu
    W: haskell-mmap source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 0.5.7-1
    W: haskell-mmap source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.8.4 (current is 3.9.2)
    root@blood:/# lintian haskell-mmap_0.5.7-1_amd64.changes
    warning: the authors of lintian do not recommend running it with root privileges!
    /haskell-mmap_0.5.7-1_amd64.changes/haskell-mmap_0.5.7-1.dsc does not exist, exiting

It works with the same files in /tmp:

    root@blood:/# cp *mmap* /tmp
    cp: omitting directory `haskell-mmap-0.5.7'
    root@blood:/# cd tmp
    root@blood:/tmp# lintian *.changes
