Bug#647551: lintian: lintian-info outputs extra EOL whitespaces in tag descriptions
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.3
Severity: minor
There seems to be extra EOL whitespaces in output after each paragraph
break.
$ echo E: wv: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/bin/wvConvert /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu | | lintian-info | cat -A

N: The binary or shared library sets RPATH. This overrides the normal$
N: library search path, possibly interfering with local policy and$
N: causing problems for multilib, among other issues.$
N: $
N: The only time a binary or shared library in a Debian package should$
N: set RPATH is if it is linked to private shared libraries in the same$
N: package. In that case, place those private shared libraries in$
N: /usr/lib/<package>. Libraries used by binaries in other packages$
N: should be placed in /lib or /usr/lib as appropriate, with a proper$
N: SONAME, in which case RPATH is unnecessary.$
N: $
N: To fix this problem, look for link lines like:$
N: gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib$
N: or$
N: gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib$
N: and remove the -Wl,--rpath or -R argument. You can also use the$
N: chrpath utility to remove the RPATH.$
