Bug#792237: lintian: false positive: package-install-apt-sources matches too much
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.33
Severity: important
I have a local configuration package that contains
/etc/apt/sources.available/*.list - various snippets that I can link
into /etc/apt/sources.d/
This triggers package-install-apt-sources although it shouldn't:
E: anbe-config-apt: package-install-apt-sources etc/apt/sources.list.available/
N:
N: Debian packages should not install files under /etc/apt/sources.d/ or
N: install a /etc/apt/sources file. This directory is under the control of
N: the local administrator.
Also there seems to be an error in the description, the config file
is called /etc/apt/sources.list, not /etc/apt/sources.
