Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.55
Severity: normal
Control: found -1 2.5.30+deb8u4
More less by accident (via gdebi) I checked a propietary .deb with
lintian on the jessie-running laptop of a family member. And lintian
threw these Perl warnings:
On Jessie (2.5.30+deb8u4):
Use of uninitialized value $parts[0] in string eq at /usr/share/lintian/checks/fields.pm line 541.
Use of uninitialized value $parts[-1] in string ne at /usr/share/lintian/checks/fields.pm line 550.
And in the end gdebi told me: "Lintian finished with exit status 1f"
On Sid (2.5.55) I was still able to reproduce at least very similar
Perl warnings:
Use of uninitialized value $parts[0] in string eq at /usr/share/lintian/checks/fields.pm line 512.
Use of uninitialized value $parts[-1] in string ne at /usr/share/lintian/checks/fields.pm line 521.
Use of uninitialized value $parts[-1] in string eq at /usr/share/lintian/checks/fields.pm line 537.
Here, lintian exited with return code 1.
I'm quite sure I can't share the .deb (as I suspect that it contains
cryptographic keys), but I'll try to figure out the exact reason for the
warnings and find a patch. (I.e. this bug report is primarily to
document the findings as of now.)
But the .deb is definitely a really bad example of how not to package
stuff. Summary of emitted tag severities:

appstream-metadata-invalid tag instead. (Closes: #879661)
* checks/binaries.desc:
+ [CL] Apply patch from Adrian Bunk to mention the lack of the "-g"
flag as a common cause for the debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols tag.
(Closes: #878806)
+ [CL] Apply patch from Guillem Jover to strongly discourage the use
of the getconf(1) interface for LFS support. (Closes: #879935)
* checks/changes-file.desc:
+ [CL] Add a note to orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature regarding
support in pristine-tar and git-buildpackage.
* checks/conffiles.pm, checks/{debconf,files,scripts}.desc:

the debconf-spec refs. (Closes: #878449)
* checks/debhelper.{desc,pm}:
+ [NT] Add a check for packages using the debhelper tooling from the
autotools-dev package. These have been replaced by the changes
inside debhelper itself.
+ [NT] Avoid useless-autoreconf-build-depends for autotools-dev when
the autotools-dev tooling is used in debian/rules.
(Closes: #871711)
* checks/fields.pm:
+ [CL] Apply patch from Nicolas Boulenguez to accept and recommend the
new vcs-mtn mtn:// uri format. (Closes: #878798)
+ [CL] Emit new empty-section-field tag instead of uninitialized value
warnings on an empty "Section:" field. (Closes: #878515)
* checks/files.pm:
+ [CL] Lower the severity of package-installs-java-bytecode from
"error" to "warning". (Closes: #879862)
+ [CL] Do not trigger package-installs-java-bytecode if the path
contains "WEB-INF", "demo", "doc" etc. (Closes: #879860)

really are Java class files. (Closes: #879861)

correction as it is "acceptable beyond serious criticism".
(Closes: #878457)
.
* debian/control:
+ [NT] Set R³ to "no". Lintian builds fine without root and
Build-Depends on fakeroot for the tests that still require
fakeroot.
.
* doc/lintian.xml, checks/{fields,files,menu-format}.desc, etc.:
+ [CL] Apply patch from Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi> to update
a large number of errors in links. (Closes: #878521)

POD synopsis tests if Test::Pod is not available. (Closes: #878522)
* t/tests/debconf-config-*, t/tests/legacy-maintainer-scripts:
+ [CL] Split out checks for debconf-config-not-executable into a
separate test protected by a Test-Requires now that dpkg >= 1.19.0
will bail out on that condition.
