--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 1.23.26 Severity: wishlist Hi, I see that in lintian (1.23.25) of 8 Oct 2006, this check was added * checks/md5sums: + [RA] aspell dictionary packages may ship files in /var/lib/aspell that should not have MD5 checksums in md5sums because they change after installation. Don't complain that those files are missing. Same applies to files created under /var/lib/ispell by ispell-autobuildhash. As a matter of fact, aspell autobuildhash code was inspired in ispell-autobuildhash. Please consider also lintian not complaining if no md5sum is provided for those files. I have played with attached patch, -- Agustindiff -Naur lintian-1.23.26.orig/checks/md5sums lintian-1.23.26/checks/md5sums --- lintian-1.23.26.orig/checks/md5sums 2006-11-11 07:03:19.000000000 +0100 +++ lintian-1.23.26/checks/md5sums 2006-11-30 17:48:41.000000000 +0100 @@ -97,7 +97,7 @@ } for my $file (keys %info_entry) { tag "file-missing-in-md5sums", "$file" - unless ($conffile{$file} || $file =~ m%^var/lib/aspell/.%); + unless ($conffile{$file} || $file =~ m%^var/lib/(a|i)spell/.%); } }

The "we haven't run this against the whole archive in a while" release . * checks/binaries{.desc,}: + [RA] Tag unrecognized ELF binaries as apparently corrupted rather than failing with a note that binutils-multiarch is required. Some packages have had ELF binaries recognized by file but unreadable. Reported by Bill Allombert. (Closes: #399456) * checks/infofiles: + [RA] Don't consider /usr/share/infon to be an info directory. Reported by Joachim Breitner. (Closes: #399857) * checks/md5sums: + [RA] Also don't complain about missing md5sums for files in /var/lib/ispell as they're changed after installation. Thanks, Agustin Martin. (Closes: #401070) * checks/po-debconf: + [RA] gettext 0.16's msgcmp requires --use-untranslated when checking for newer templates than PO files or it gives false positives for every package. Thanks, Damyan Ivanov. (Closes: #400957) + [RA] Don't consider directories to be stray template files even if named template. Thanks, Thomas Huriaux. (Closes: #401442) * checks/shared-libs: + [RA] Don't report shlib-with-non-pic-code unless we're sure that we're looking at a shared library. Otherwise, we get many false positives on some platforms where text relocations are normal for binaries. Reported by Bill Allombert. (Closes: #399525) . * collection/file-info: + [RA] Unescape non-ASCII characters escaped by tar before running file on the resulting filename. Otherwise, file can't find the file, exits with an error, and lintian aborts. Reported by Bill Allombert. (Closes: #399392) * collection/objdump-info: + [RA] Include unrecognized format errors from objdump in the output rather than aborting; some packages contain apparently corrupt ELF binaries. . * debian/control: + [RA] Depend on gettext 0.16 or later for --use-untranslated. . * lib/Lab.pm: + [RA] Preserve the old package lists when setting up a static lab so that the unpack programs can build a list of changed packages and incremental mode works. Thanks, Bill Allmobert. (Closes: #400342) . * unpack/list-udebpkg: + [RA] Handle compressed udeb Packages files. Thanks, Bill Allombert.
