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

    E: wv: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/bin/wvConvert /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$
    N:$
    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.$
    N:   $
    N:   Refer to http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue for details.$
    N:   $
    N:   Severity: serious, Certainty: possible$
