Bug#703490: lintian: Incorrect description of outdated-autotools-helper-file
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.11
Severity: normal
I'm getting this lintian warning:
W: grilo source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.guess 2012-02-10
The description says that "The referenced file has a time stamp older
than June of 2006", but as you can see the time stamp is from 2012.
I initially thought that the date was not being parsed correctly, but
after checking the source code it seems that it's the description that
hasn't been updated.
