what the number of colors message from lintian means



Hi all,

I'm trying to build really lintian clean packages for my software.

I have a menu icon that is 32x32 pixels, that I have indexed using The
Gimp, asking that it be made of 24 colors. When I package the software
I get the following error message:

E: polyxdef: menu-icon-has-bad-colors /usr/share/pixmaps/polyxdef.xpm:
#3E7F3E, #3F027F, #4A1682, #521E82, #5A2E82, #666632, #744C80,
#7A5E86, #862E66, #927080, #A0383C, #A44A4C, #A65A6A, #B60230,
#B84652, #BE2A16, #C2022A, #C8363F, #CE1A2E, #D61A26, #DB242B,
#EA1416, #EC0710, #FD0303

OK, now I go back to The Gimp, and ask that the pixmap be of 15 colors
only. The error message above still shows up, albeit with less
hexadecimal numbers...

I've tried finding in the web for an answer to this question but all I
could find is a page that states that the lintian package is buggy
with respect to that pixmap check.

Could somebody help be with this problem, please ?

Thanks for any pointer,

Filippo
