Package: eatmydata Version: 105-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The current combination of lintian (2.5.42.1) and eatmydata (105-2) in sid are problematic. lintian appears to need to know what the original $0 was while eatmydata resolves the symlink as part of running the child process. The result is that using sbuild with eatmydata and lintian fails with a very strange error message: Unknown option -i Further digging gives the sort of invocation that sbuild uses: $ schroot -d /build/engauge-digitizer-PSQJbM -c sid-amd64-sbuild-68e49783-b64e-4eda-b1e3-9c4d4b1d39e6 --run-session -- lintian --version Lintian v2.5.42.1 $ schroot -d /build/engauge-digitizer-PSQJbM -c sid-amd64-sbuild-68e49783-b64e-4eda-b1e3-9c4d4b1d39e6 --run-session -- eatmydata lintian --version Unable to determine the version automatically!? or more simply inside a chroot: $ lintian --version Lintian v2.5.42.1 $ eatmydata lintian --version Unable to determine the version automatically!? cheers Stuart
