Bug#806504: lintian: malformed-override Cannot parse line 9: missing-dependency-on-libstdc++

[Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.38.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'd guess that lintian does not accept the '+' character in tags when
reading the overrides, resulting in this:

E: nvidia-cuda-dev: malformed-override Cannot parse line 9: missing-dependency-on-libstdc++
X: nvidia-cuda-dev: missing-dependency-on-libstdc++ needed by usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/stubs/libcublas.so and 10 others

The override file contains

....
# These libraries are only stubs.
missing-dependency-on-libc needed by usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/stubs/*
#missing-dependency-on-libstdc++ needed by usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/stubs/*
missing-dependency-on-libstdc++
....

Neither of the two forms is working ... while the
missing-dependency-on-libc one works fine.


Actually I'd prefer these tags to be emitted once for each occurence
and not grouped together with "and X others". That would allow more fine
granular overrides like
  missing-dependency-on-libc needed by usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/stubs/lib*.so
because right now I'm not sure whether I'm overriding something else than the
stuff in stubs/
