Bug#954141: Lintian: unsteady false-positive: unused-override package-does-not-install-examples

[Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.57.0

Hi,

Lintian's unused-override tag for package-does-not-install-examples
seems to be unsteady:


$ apt source logrotate

$ lintian -E -i -I --pedantic --no-tag-display-limit --color auto
--verbose logrotate_3.16.0-1.dsc
> I: logrotate source: unused-override package-does-not-install-examples examples/

$ cd logrotate-3.16.0/ && dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

$ lintian -E -i -I --pedantic --no-tag-display-limit --color auto
--verbose logrotate_3.16.0-1_amd64.changes
> *nothing*

$ rm logrotate-3.16.0/debian/source/lintian-overrides

$ cd logrotate-3.16.0/ && dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

$ lintian -E -i -I --pedantic --no-tag-display-limit --color auto
--verbose logrotate_3.16.0-1_amd64.changes
