Re: RFS: lynis (updated package)



Hello Patrick,

Thank for your corrections. 

I forgot invoke lintian with "-i" parameter. This problem with charsets
is very frecuent, and I have solved it many times in this and other 
packages.

I will take in mind it for next revisions.

Thank you for your help,
best regards.

Francisco.
