The text it prints after the warning is the exact text that it found in the changelog. It's complaining about the following entry from evms 2.2.1-2 on line 411: * Support 2.6 kernel modules (.ko) in mkinitrd script (Closes: #xxxxxx) Since your bug report, Frank committed a patch to Subversion that will cause the next version of lintian to print out the line number where it found the problem. I'm closing this bug because I believe lintian's behavior is correct. It's perhaps not ideal that it complains about ancient history in the changelog file, but all of the other changelog syntax checks also check the entire file. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
