Bug#1115463: lintian: False positive for debian-watch-not-mangling-version



Control: tags -1 + patch

* Rafael Laboissière <rafael@debian.org> [2025-09-17 02:12]:

Package: lintian
Version: 2,124.0
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

This well-formed debian/watch file:

   Version: 5

   Template: Github
   Owner: NeuroJSON
   Project: zmat
   Repacksuffix: +ds
   Dversionmangle: s/\+ds(\.\d+)?$//

with this first line in debian/changelog:

   zmat (0.9.9+ds.1-6) unstable; urgency=medium

is trigerring the following warning:

   W: zmat source: debian-watch-not-mangling-version Version: 5 [debian/watch:2]

But it should not.

However, when the empty line between the "Version" and the "Template" fields is removed, then the warining is not issued.

Please, consider this merge request, with a possible solution for the issue: https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/619

Best,

Rafael Laboissière
