Bug#831449: lintian on Sid amd64 reports volatile false spelling errors in binaries

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

possibly the false positives are not volatile but rather my overrides
are interpreted differently between local Sid and lintian.debian.org.

The problem of reading mangled strings from binaries remains.

------------------------------------------------------------------

While processing the other lintian complaints i notice that on
lintian.debian.org all spelling-error-in-binary of libisoburn1 are
reported as "O". Among them is a complaint about "lengH".

So possibly something is wrong with my debian/libisoburn1.lintian-overrides
which is meant to be essentially:

  libisoburn1 binary: spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* paramters parameters
  libisoburn1 binary: spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* Allow to Allow one to
  libisoburn1 binary: spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* ment meant
  libisoburn1 binary: spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* lengH length

Complete file:
  http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-libburnia/trunk/libisoburn/debian/libisoburn1.lintian-overrides?revision=381&view=markup

If one of the rules covers all typos, then "lengH" is indeed unused.
But how come ?

(And why does local lintian not find the typos "Programm", "someting"
 which are rightly reported by lintian.debian.org ?
 Locally i run:
   lintian -I -E --color never --show-overrides | less
)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Have a nice day :)
