Hi,
$ lintian -i -o libreoffice-help-de_6.1.0~beta1~git20180430-1_all.deb
E: libreoffice-help-de: doc-base-file-references-missing-file libreoffice-help-de:8 /usr/share/libreoffice/help/help.html
N:
N: One of the files referenced in an Index or Files field in this doc-base
N: control file does not exist in the package. The doc-base control files
N: should be installed by the package that provides the documents they are
N: registering.

E: libreoffice-help-de: doc-base-file-references-missing-file libreoffice-help-de:8 /usr/share/libreoffice/help/idxcaption.xsl
E: libreoffice-help-de: doc-base-file-references-missing-file libreoffice-help-de:8 /usr/share/libreoffice/help/fuse.js
E: libreoffice-help-de: doc-base-file-references-missing-file ... use --no-tag-display-limit to see all (or pipe to a file/program)
Those files are indeed mentioned in libreoffice-help-des doc-base file. They
are actually in libreoffice-help-common since media/ can get quite big and
even now:
$ ls -lh libreoffice-help-de_6.1.0~beta1~git20180430-1_all.deb libreoffice-help-common_6.1.0~beta1~git20180430-1_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 rene rene 3,1M Apr 30 19:25 libreoffice-help-common_6.1.0~beta1~git20180430-1_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 rene rene 1,4M Apr 30 19:26 libreoffice-help-de_6.1.0~beta1~git20180430-1_all.deb
and libreoffice-help-xx Depends: libreoffice-help-common.
I've overriden those errors (errors? seriously?) now[1]. I have no choice, I am
not going to have this much errors x 34 packages:
$ lintian -i libreoffice-help-de_6.1.0~beta1~git20180430-1_all.deb
N: 4365 tags overridden (4365 errors)

Rene
