Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.54
Severity: normal
Hi,
Lintian is unreliable at handling signals. This causes it to fail to
clean up in some cases on lindsay.d.o (and other archive-wide runs).
Example from the log file:
"""

[2017-10-14T04:01:24]: - skipping the rest of the worklist
"""
This log suggests that lintian continued despite having received a
signal. Furthermore, there is a left over temporarily lab on
lindsay.d.o having a timestamp close to start of the lintian run:
"""
$ ls -ld /srv/lintian.debian.org/scratch/temp-lintian-lab-rCsPnScQ8t
drwx------ 4 lintian lintian 4096 Oct 14 03:34 /srv/lintian.debian.org/scratch/temp-lintian-lab-rCsPnScQ8t
"""
My /guess/ is that when lintian received the first signal, the signal
handler then disabled itself and threw a "Interrupted" error.
Something then catches the error and flags the check / package as
"uncheckable" but continues on. When the second signal arrived, the
default signal handler terminated with lintian not cleaning up after
itself.
Thanks,
~Niels

Description:
lintian - Debian package checker
Closes: 718640 736360 878575 879977
Changes:
lintian (2.5.57) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added:
- debian-rules-should-not-set-CFLAGS-from-noopt
.
* checks/control-file.pm:
+ [CL] Avoid false positives in debian-control-has-empty-field when the
field is wrapped onto a new line. Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the
report. (Closes: #879977)
* checks/cruft.desc:
+ [CL] Add example on how to remove trailing whitespace with sed.
+ [CL] Drop README.source from files to check against the
file-contains-trailing-whitespace tag as it can include quotes
from upstream that would be ideally left intact.
* checks/debhelper.pm:
+ [NT] Remove code handling named compat levels.
* checks/files.desc:
+ [CL] Ignore embedded jQuery libraries for Doxygen. (Closes: #736360)
* checks/rules.desc:
+ [CL] Warn if packages set CFLAGS if the value of DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
contains noopt. (Closes: #718640)
.
* commands/lintian.pm:
+ [NT] Have lintian resignal between various stages of the
processing. Previously, ill-timed signals would be caught and
"semi-ignored" with lintian happily continuing to process the
next package. (Closes: #878575)
.
* data/debhelper/named-compat-levels:
+ [NT] Removed; no longer used.
