Bug#869587: lintian: false positive for unconditional-use-of-dpkg-statoverride

[Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.52
Severity: normal

Hi,

Not quite sure why, but am seeing in src:redis:

 29                 if ! dpkg-statoverride --list ${CONFFILE} >/dev/null 2>&1
 30                 then
 31                         dpkg-statoverride --update --add ${USER} ${GROUP} 640 ${CONFFILE}
 32                 fi

... resulting in:

 W: redis-server: unconditional-use-of-dpkg-statoverride postinst:31


Regards,
