Bug#968003: lintian: bad name for duplicate-globbing-patterns and redundant-globbing-patterns



Hello!

I agree with Raphaël's comments. The wording of this error could be
improved a bit.

In https://mariadb-team.pages.debian.net/-/mariadb-10.3/-/jobs/929803/artifacts/debian/output/lintian.html
I got

E duplicate-globbing-patterns mysql-test/mysql-stress-test.pl in lines
213 467 467
E duplicate-globbing-patterns storage/innobase/fts/fts0pars.cc in lines 590 590
E duplicate-globbing-patterns

for strings/strxmov.c
E redundant-globbing-patterns [strings/strxnmov.c strings/strxnmov.c]

-> 6 errors would have been enough, now there are 10
-> some have identical line numbers twice

Also, I was unable to find it's documentation at the usual location at
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/duplicate-globbing-patterns.html


Never the less, the usability was good enough that I was able to fix
the issues and now Lintian passes for this package. This is just a
minor improvement suggestion.
