Bug#956077: lintian: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile shouldn't be reported for udebs?
Package: lintian
Version: 2.63.0
Severity: serious
Justification: prevents upload of brltty package
Hello,
While running lintian on the output of the brltty source package, I am
getting this:
E: brltty-udeb udeb: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile etc/brltty/Attributes/invleft_right.atb
E: brltty-udeb udeb: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile etc/brltty/Attributes/left_right.atb
E: brltty-udeb udeb: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile etc/brltty/Attributes/upper_lower.atb
E: brltty-udeb udeb: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile ... use --no-tag-display-limit to see all (or pipe to a file/program)
But AIUI for a udeb it does not make sense to have conffiles, thus why
they are not getting set, that's expected. I tried to override it with
this in brltty-udeb.lintian-overrides:
brltty-udeb udeb: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile etc/brltty/Attributes/invleft_right.atb
but that didn't work. That's basically preventing me from uploading the
brltty package since ftpmaster also gets the error.
This can be reproduced efficiently with
apt-get source rootskel
cd rootskel-*
dpkg-buildpackage/pdebuild/whatever your liking
lintian ../rootskel*.changes
I bisected the issue down to apparition in lintian version 2.58.0
