Apologies. The tests I just related above with "still the same problem" were for lintian 2.5.112~bpo9+1. I was using the source package for version 2.5.112~bpo9+1, downloaded with 'apt-get source lintian'. I didn't have any other version of lintian installed. > > Still unclear why the lintian test cases are not failing. > > I suspect it is something to do with debian/po/ or something like > that but, again, debconf & translations thereof are not something > I've ever really played with, sorry. > If I get time to run it down I will update the bug but in the meantime input from any passing experts would be appreciated. Kind regards Vince
