Niels,
	Sorry I did try to reporduce this in more isolated condition and
failed. All I can say is that it really happened but that the
circumstances were unnatural. (I was writing a script to generate a
Debian package and one of the tests was is the package lintian clean. I
think something else broke and then the issue happened. ) So altogether
hard to reprodiuce but when it does a real nuisance.

Hi,

I managed to reproduce it when I due to copy-waste error tried:

$ lintian http://ftp.dk.debian.org/<...>/libtiff5_4.0.1-1_amd64.deb

It can be triggered by specificing non-existent files in the form of:

   /absolute/path/to/nowhere
   scheme://host/query

Relative paths just seem to trigger the "no matches on lab-query"
warning, which is probably why I have been unable to re-produce it so far.

~Niels
