Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.50.4
Severity: normal
* What led up to the situation?
(The issue is independent of the 'hello' package, I just used it to make
reproduction easier.)
$ apt-get source hello
$ cd hello-2.10
$ cat > debian/templates
Template: hello/all-languages
Type: boolean
Default: false
Description: Use all available languages?
This program can speak in many languages.
$ cat >debian/config
#!/bin/sh -e
# This may ask for config info but should not change anything
# Postinst should change things.
# Source debconf library.
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
db_title "hello" || true
$ debuild -us -uc
...
Now running lintian...
...
E: hello source: untranslatable-debconf-templates templates: 4
...
So far, so good.
But if I do what seems to be the recommended thing I get told off again:
$ sed -i -e 's/^Desc/_Desc/' debian/templates
$ debuild -us -uc
...
Now running lintian...
...
E: hello: no-template-description hello/all-languages
E: hello: unknown-field-in-templates hello/all-languages _description
I did try putting both a Description: and _Description: field in but that
did not work either.
This seems like a bug, but if I'm missing some templating magic spell
I would be happy to help document it better.
I've already consulted the sources below:
- https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/debconf-doc/debconf-devel.7.en.html
- https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#prompting-in-maintainer-scripts
- https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/debconf_specification.html
I also had a look at the git repository and could not see recent
work related to either of the tags involved here.
Kind regards
Vince
