Package: lintian Version: 1.23.21 Severity: minor CC'ing Thomas as I know he's the one who sent the patch.
Lintian currently warns for writing style in some templates it shouldn't: W: passwd: malformed-prompt-in-templates passwd/root-password-crypted The offending template is: # This template is for D-I purposes and should allow # preseeding the root password with a crypted password rather than cleartext Template: passwd/root-password-crypted Type: password Description: For internal use only So, I hereby suggest that lintian does NOT check the wording of strings that are contained in an untranslatable template, because this is most of the time meant for not being displayed. In any case, thanks a lot for the work on lintian and thanks A LOT for incorporating Thomas suggested changes. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1cvs20060413-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.41-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.13.19 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.17-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.14.5-4 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.34.2+20060512 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchang 1.0-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii man-db 2.4.3-3 The on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5- 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
