Sadly I still cannot reproduce it (from the above):
$ lintian lintian_2.5.4_amd64.changes
N: 3 tags overridden (3 warnings)
$ rm lintian_2.5.4_amd64.changes
$ lintian lintian_2.5.4_amd64.changes
warning: cannot find binary, udeb or source package
lintian_2.5.4_amd64.changes in lab (skipping)
$ lintian lintian_2.5.4_amd64.changes
warning: cannot find binary, udeb or source package
lintian_2.5.4_amd64.changes in lab (skipping)
$ touch lintian_2.5.4_amd64.changes
$ lintian lintian_2.5.4_amd64.changes
internal error: /some/path/lintian_2.5.4_amd64.changes is not a valid
changes file
I assume you are not removing the file while lintian is running?
