Bug#961684: lintian: exits with error: Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference
Package: lintian
Version: 2.77.0
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello,
while attempting to check a just built package within my sid
pbuilder-managed chroot enviroment, I see that lintian is no
longer working.
Please note that lintian/2.76.0 was working fine in the same
environment.
Attempting to check the package with the following command:
# su -p pbuser -c "lintian -viF $PACKAGE.changes"
Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/share/lintian/commands/lintian.pm line 831.
exits immediately with the above shown error message.
Same exact misbehavior with:
# su -p pbuser -c "lintian -EviIL +pedantic $PACKAGE.changes"
I would say that this renders lintian unusable, hence the
'grave' severity of the bug report.
Please fix this issue.
Thanks for your time and dedication!
