Package: license-reconcile Version: 0.10 While trying to use license-reconcile to check if the debian/copyright file for zfsonlinux was complete and correct, I discovered something strange. The output from license-reconcile changed every time I ran int.
Here is an example, showing that the list of files reported with copyright mismatch change for two consecutive runs without any changes to the code or the debian/copyright file: % license-reconcile 2>&1 |grep -v -P 'CDDL.* which does not match CDDL.*'|grep -v debian/ |grep -v Makefile.in |cut -d: -f1-2 Copyright mismatch: File cmd/zed/zed_conf.h Copyright mismatch: File cmd/zed/zed_file.h Copyright mismatch: File config/rpm.am License mismatch: File config/config.sub has license GPL-2+ which does not match GPL-2+ with autoconf exception. at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/LicenseReconcile/App.pm line 222, <GEN0> line 3.
