Bug#939637: lintian: please add 'iIF' to spelling-exceptions
Source: lintian
Version: 2.20.0
Tags: patch
Hi Maintainer
In Ubuntu, lintian's autopkgtests started failing on armhf recently
with several errors similar to the following:
# Failed test 'Lintian passes for binaries-general'
# at /tmp/autopkgtest.F5y7Cs/build.UzK/src/lib/Test/Lintian/Run.pm line 300.
# Tags do not match
#
# --- ../../autopkgtest_tmp/testsuite/tags/checks/binaries/binaries-general/tags.specified.calibrated
# +++ ../../autopkgtest_tmp/testsuite/tags/checks/binaries/binaries-general/tags.actual.parsed
# +binaries-general (binary): spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/static iIF if
#
# Unexpected tags:
# spelling-error-in-binary
#
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.
This seems to have coincided with the upload of a new binutils in
Ubuntu, and Matthias Klose suggested an upstream change [1] could be
the cause.
Adding 'iIF' to spelling-exceptions, as below, solved the problem.
