Bug#673073: lintian: warn about package name mismatch
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.7
Severity: wishlist
Hey,
as discussed quickly on irc, I had an issue with a package of mine,
where overrides weren't correctly picked up by lintian, and as a result
I got:
W: liblightdm-gobject-1-0: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblightdm-gobject-1.so.0.0.0
W: liblightdm-qt-2-0: hardening-no-stackprotector usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblightdm-qt-2.so.0.0.0
E: lightdm: malformed-override liblightdm-gobject-1-0: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblightdm-gobject-1.so.0.0.0
E: lightdm: malformed-override liblightdm-qt-2-0: hardening-no-stackprotector usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblightdm-qt-2.so.0.0.0
It turns out what was wrong was the package name, but that's something
which could have been shown by lintian (in -i output for example). It'd
help the debugging.
Thanks your time,
