Package: lintian Version: 2.114.0 Severity: wishlist The yt-dlp manual page contains – characters (en-dash) (the \[en] sequence in the manual page source) instead of double dashes, consequently double-click in the terminal doesn't select the dash character so you can't copy the full option and if you do copy the en-dash character, it won't work when passed to yt-dlp, because it requires double-dashes instead of en-dashes for long options. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/3814 This sort of issue does happen occasionally and is annoying to users, so it would be great if lintian could warn about the manual pages. It is potentially feasible for programs to use en-dashes for long options but is almost never done, so overrides seem like the appropriate way to deal with false positives. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
