Bug#1028959: lintian: Weird very-long-line-length-in-source-file false positve due no long line in file
Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.3+68commits+git091d167f6
Severity: normal
When running against BackupPC, lintian emits this tag:
X: backuppc source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file 535 > 512 [lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm:52]
But there is no such long line in that file:
$ cat -n lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm | egrep '^\s*52\s' | wc -c
77
$ cut -c512- lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm | egrep -v '^$'
$ file lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm
lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm: Perl5 module source, ASCII text
$
So "file" also doesn't mention any long line stuff (which it usually
does, I just don't know its limits).
Line 52 looks like this:
if ( $Jobs{$host}{type} eq "" && defined($Status{$host}) );
Not yet debugged, so not sure why lintian thinks that this file has any
long line. According to my statistics the two longes lines in there are
two lines which each 99 characters.
