Bug#675358: lintian: [checks/fields] wrongly classifies -cil-dev packages under libdevel
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6ubuntu0.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
When running lintian on -cil-dev packages that have Section correctly set to
cli-mono, lintian spits out the following warning, which is wrong and
misleading.
W: libnewtonsoft-json-cil-dev: wrong-section-according-to-package-name libnewtonsoft-json-cil-dev => libdevel
Lintian should accept -cil-dev packages in the cli-mono section, and not in
libdevel.
