Bug#911355: False negative for 'multi-arch-same-package-has-arch-specific-overrides'



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.109
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

The Lintian test suite identified a potential false negative for the
tag 'multi-arch-same-package-has-arch-specific-overrides' when the
value of the Architecture: field in 'debian/control' does not match
the extension of the lintian-override file. Both fields could be
architecture wildcards. A positive finding should take place when the
latter is a subset of the former.

Attached please find a patch fixing the issue.

To reproduce, please manually change both package architectures in the
test 'fields-multi-arch-same-package-has-arch-specific-overrides' to
Architecture: any (in the file 'debian/debian/control.in'). The tag
'multi-arch-same-package-has-arch-specific-overrides' should
disappear.

To assist the developers, I will also file a merge request on salsa
with a commit message that references the assigned bug number. Thank
you!

Best regards,
Felix
