Bug#880140: lintian: misdetects libcanberra-gstreamer as a GNU Smalltalk library
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.56
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
lintian reports that libcanberra-gstreamer has
"wrong-section-according-to-package-name libcanberra-gstreamer => interpreters".
This appears to be because it matches ^lib.*-gst which is thought to be
a GNU Smalltalk binding.
I think the regex should be anchored to the end (add $), since TCL,
Lua and GNU Smalltalk libraries seem to follow the same naming pattern
as Perl. Untested patch which I hope will DTRT:
