Package: lintian Version: 2.5.97 Severity: normal This tag wants the wildcard paragraph as first stanza in debian/copyright. I use(d) to start with the license stanzas, like Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Upstream-Name: goobox Upstream-Contact: Paolo Bacchilega <paobac@src.gnome.org> Paolo Bacchilega <paobac@svn.gnome.org> Paolo Bacchilega <paobac@cvs.gnome.org> Source: https://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/goobox/ License: GPL-2+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify … License: GPL-2 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by … Files: * Copyright: 2004-2017 Paolo Bacchilega <paobac@src.gnome.org> License: GPL-2+ … As per my reading of the sepc this is perfectly valid, however, still flagged by lintian. So either the spec needs clarification (which I doubt) or the lintian check should be relaxed. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.17.10samd.01 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.31.1-4 ii bzip2 1.0.6-9 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.0.5+b1 ii file 1:5.34-2 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-7 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.34 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.63-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.39-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libipc-run-perl 20180523.0-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libperl5.24 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.24.1-3+deb9u4 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.74-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.72+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.4-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.2-7 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: pn libperlio-gzip-perl <none> Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.5 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b2 pn libtext-template-perl <none> -- no debconf information -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann debian@helgefjell.de Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de/debian.php 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/
