Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I think embedded-library was recently broken.
After upgrading to lintian 2.115.0 I got
"mismatched-override embedded-library"
reports. I commented them in order to get the new syntax, but the tag
was no longer emitted. Later I experimented with adding '[]' around the
filename and I'm no longer getting the mismatched-override, but also no
unused-override. And --show-overrides doesn't list them either. There is
something fishy here ...
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-390xx 390.151-1 has the "old"
overrides (i.e. without [] around the file name) emitting
mismatched-override (but doesn't emit a correct embedded-library tag,
while it emits the correct tags for all other mismatched-override tags)
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-390xx 390.151-2 has the overrides
removed completely
(I've not yet uploaded a package with the new overrides.)
BTW, that happens on lintian -i -I -E -v --pedantic *.changes

I can see it reporting zlib with latest lintian on 390.151-2 that I got from
snapshot.d.o so I am closing
this bug.
