Bug#913290: lintian: Incorrectly reports invalid-template-id-in-symbols-file/syntax-error-in-symbols-file for certain symbols files
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.110
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
14098d4c65159b651d6c324d04cc9a83c26a592e introduced a regression with
these two tags[0][1], as noticed by the libsvn1 package. This was due
to no longer re-setting[2] meta_info_seen when encountering a new entry
in the symbols file.

The below patch fixes the issue, although I'm not familiar enough with
the test suite to add a regression test.
