Package: lintian Version: 1.23.36 Severity: normal Hi,
It may be me, but I think this is a bug in lintian. The above warning triggers on this template: Template: nbd-server/convert Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Convert old style nbd-server configuration file? A pre-2.9 nbd-server configuration file has been found on your system. The current nbd-server package no longer supports this file; if you depend on it, your nbd-server no longer works. If you accept this option, the system will generate a new style configuration file based upon your old style configuration file. Then, the old style configuration file will be removed. If you do not accept this option, a new style configuration file will be generated based on a number of questions that will be asked; these may be the very same questions that you used to create the old style configuration file in the first place. . If you already have a new style configuration file and you accept this option, you will shortly see a "modified configuration file" prompt, as usual. I am aware of the fact that there are differences of interface between graphical and text-based debconf frontends, which is the whole reason I chose to use the "if you accept this option" phrasing, rather than "if you say yes". Hence, I don't think this warning should trigger here, but it does. If you have a better phrasing (I will agree that "if you accept" is somewhat awkward), I'm open to suggestions. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-powerpc Locale: LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.18-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.45-2 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.7 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.21-3 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.16.1-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii man-db 2.5.0-3 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5-pe 5.8.8-11.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
