Bug#721252: False positive: license-problem-gfdl-invariants for translation files in gtk-doc
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.17
Severity: normal
Checking gtk-doc 1.19-1 with lintian, I get the following lintian errors
E: gtk-doc source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants help/manual/de/de.po
E: gtk-doc source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants help/manual/el/el.po
E: gtk-doc source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants help/manual/es/es.po
E: gtk-doc source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants help/manual/fr/fr.po
E: gtk-doc source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants help/manual/zh_CN/zh_CN.po
The string GFDL is mentioned in those translation and it seems lintian
get's confused by the surrounding context (or lack thereof)
