Package: lintian Version: 2.80.0 Severity: normal Hi, apologies in advance if I reported the bug against the wrong component but I'm unsure about where to start. I'm testing the debhelper compatibity level v12 with the webkit2gtk package (which currently uses v10). I had already updated some of my other packages from 10 to 12 without any issues, but with webkit2gtk I get this lintian error: E: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-dbgsym: stripped-library usr/lib/debug/.dwz/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37.debug I haven't used dwz before and I'm not familiar with how it works, but /usr/bin/file reports this file as being indeed stripped: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37.debug: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), BuildID[sha1]=be59818d27177e23fbd4890fe6852121f1c74e62, stripped However if I run strip on that file it does reduce its size further, so I'm wondering if /usr/bin/file is reporting it incorrectly (and perhaps lintian gets the information from there?). Comparing the output of readelf -a shows that running strip manually removes the .debug_str section from the file. Second question, if this turns out to be a false positive, how do I override it? It seems that debhelper won't let me install the .lintian-overrides file for the dbgsym package (see #820310). I'm attaching the original libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37.debug as produced by dh_dwz, its size is 744 bytes. Thanks, Berto
