lintian 2.103.0 released



Hi,

The Lintian maintainers are pleased to announce the release of Lintian
version 2.103.0.

Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy
violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian
policy as well as some checks for common errors.

This version includes the following changes:

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - duplicate-override-context

  [ Felix Lechner ]
  * Merge subindices for "orig" sources with multiple tarball components.
    (Closes: #970750, #971597, #972567)
  * Do not try to drop a common prefix from indices when a file of that
    name already exists (Closes: #974820)
  * Ignore dysfunctional output from readelf (for empty archives) and
    undefined version strings in readelf output.
  * Announce names used by the maintainer when flagging overrides for
    renamed tags. (Closes: #972877)
  * Turn off CSS generation in Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch for reprotest.
  * Accept Build-Depends-Packages (plural) as a valid field in symbols
    control files. (Closes: #974971)
  * Use Pod::Simple::XHTML to generate docs (instead of Pod::Simple::HTML).
  * Fix detection of an unwanted prefix for "orig" component tarballs
    without their own folder.
  * Rename repeating segments when dropping common path prefixes from
    indices.
  * Accept renamed tag names in custom profiles. (Closes: #974946)
  * Collapse successive slashes in file paths extracted from tar(1).
