Bug#953857: lintian: t/tags/odd-inputs/strings-elf-detection/eval/literal fails on ubuntu



There is a typpo!

Changing all patterns I could find did *not* make the test pass. Thus I don't have a patch that makes this work.

I could not find/trace how/where/why .changes is parsed and things are decided to be executed.

Also I am confused about types of things used. I.e. I see that "binary, udeb" are often used, where sometimes binary means like anything a binary build produces, yet sometimes udebs are special cases. Did not see explicit "deb" upload types. Thus tried things like calling "ddebs" to be "binary" or "deb" and it didn't work either.

I am confused in reading Perl & understanding the data model here 😔 thus went with removing assertions, as I'd rather have newer lintian in ubuntu, even if it doesn't parse .ddebs on Ubuntu.

Can you provide a patch of these changes? I note your other patch in a
later mail that removes the assertions from the testsuite but this
would always be a Ubuntu-specific change and having a minimal delta
between the two projects would always be prefered.
