It would be great if lintian would trap such errors and exit with 1. I ran into this in the context of debusine thinking that lintian had completed successfully when it did not: https://salsa.debian.org/freexian-team/debusine/-/work_items/1454I can't repro this with ulimit or otherwise. Replied to the issue on debusine.After further discussions, this turned out to be a bug in debusine itself. Hence, I'm going ahead with closing this bug report. Additionally, as per the logs, global destruction fails - I've opened up https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/720 so the cleanup happens. One may argue that the cleanup not happening is a feature, not a bug. But let's see. In any case, the return status is correct and this is not a bug in lintian. Thanks for reporting!
You are welcome. Thank you for the update, the deep-dive, and the related fix!
