Bug#1017632: lintian: False positive on partial match for bin-sbin-mismatch

[Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.2
Severity: normal

Hi!

The bin-sbin-mismatch triggers false positives on partial matches such
as /usr/bin/dpkg-www and /usr/sbin/dpkg-www-installer, or
/usr/bin/dpkg and /usr/sbin/dpkg-fsys-usrunmess.

This is due to the check in lib/Lintian/Check/Files/Contents.pm, where
it essentially does the following:

  perl -E '$str = "/bin/dpkg-www-installer"; \
           say "wrong-match" if $str =~ m{\B/\Qbin/dpkg-www\E\b}x'

I've got false-positives in dpkg and dpkg-www.

Thanks,
Guillem
