Bug#673352: lintian: false positive for icon-size-and-directory-name-mismatch on symlinks
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.7
Severity: normal
The test added in 2.5.7 for icons with the wrong size for their directory
(#628189) relies on file-info, which then generates an error and a false
positive on symbolic links. For example, with the grace package:
% lintian grace_5.1.22-13_amd64.changes
[...]
Use of uninitialized value $2 in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/lintian/checks/files line 924.
W: grace: icon-size-and-directory-name-mismatch usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/mimetypes/application-x-grace.png 32x32x
[...]
% file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/mimetypes/application-x-grace.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/mimetypes/application-x-grace.png: symbolic link to `../apps/grace.png'
% file `readlink -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/mimetypes/application-x-grace.png`
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/grace.png: PNG image data, 32 x 32, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
