Subject: lintian on Sid amd64 reports volatile false spelling errors in binaries
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.45
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Hi,
I encountered the problem with lintian checks while and after packaging
libisoburn 1.4.4-1.
After apt-get dist-upgrade on my Sid VM on juli 4 2016 and debuild from
libisoburn-1.4.4.tar.gz i got from lintian a warning about a typo "lengH"
in the resulting shared library file. This is a false positive.
So i overrode it.
But after upload by my sponsor i see on
https://lintian.debian.org/full/pkg-libburnia-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.html#libisoburn
the complaint
unused-override
spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* lengH length
Reason for the "lengH" complaint on my Sid is probably the output of
strings which reflects a strange habit of gcc to chop texts into pieces
which are separated by non-printable bytes.
Source line:
xorriso/iso_manip.c: "Suitable are strings of length 4 or length 1");
yields with "strings" from libisoburn.so
SuitableL
th 1I
are strA
ings of E1
length 41
or lengH
Binary snippet from libisoburn.so:

A similar binary representation can be found in libisoburn.so when i
build it on my Debian 8 workstation. So this problem is not just about
newest gcc versions.
Another similar override in debian/libisoburn1.lintian-overrides is not
reported as unused by lintian.debian.org:
# Here: "ment off" from "Displacement offset leads outside 32 bit range"
libisoburn1 binary: spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* ment meant
So i assume that lintian.debian.org still spellchecks binaries and
still finds false positives in them.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas

Hi,
> reflects a strange habit of gcc to chop texts into pieces
I have not seen that behavior in a long time. My hunch is that the
tooling was fixed.
> Actually the binaries seem to be the wrong place to check for typos.
>From my experience, it works pretty well now.
As of late, issues arise mostly when compilers include strings that
are not shown to users. There is also considerable debate as to what
constitutes a typo. (I never write letters in camel-case.) Please see
Bug#947763 for more on both topics.
> I am not aware whether the problem still exists.
I agree. A recent tag output is below. It includes all official Debian
architectures. I no longer see any unusual spelling tags resembling
those in the initial report.
Closing this bug.
Kind regards
Felix Lechner
