Package: lintian
Version: 2.13.0
Severity: wishlist
In LP#1827044 I reported a package that has a bogus debian/changelog:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/+bug/1827044
binutils (2.29-8ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
- Build from upstream sources.
-- Matthias Klose <doko@ubuntu.com> Wed, 30 Aug 2017 08:13:33 +0200
*
-- Matthias Klose <doko@x1> Wed, 13 Dec 2017 10:50:43 +0000
That causes the debian Python module to emit warnings:
$ python3 -c 'from debian import changelog as c; f = open("debian/changelog"); c.Changelog(f)'
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/changelog.py:484: UserWarning: Unexpected line while looking for next heading of EOF: *
warnings.warn(message)
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/changelog.py:484: UserWarning: Unexpected line while looking for next heading of EOF: -- Matthias Klose <doko@x1> Wed, 13 Dec 2017 10:50:43 +0000
warnings.warn(message)
That changelog doesn't trigger a warning from lintian though.
It would be nice for lintian to emit warnings about changelog entries
that are missing headers, bodies or footers.
