Package: lintian Version: 1.23.46 Severity: normal Lintian does not recognise menu-2 format in debian/menu files. It complains in the following way:
$ lintian -i qrfcview_0.62-5_i386.deb E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:1 N: N: The menu file contains an item that does not start with the text N: "?package(somepackage):". All menu file lines must test for the N: existence of a package in this way. N: E: qrfcview: menu-item-missing-required-tag needs /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:2 N: N: The menu item has a line that is missing a required tag. It's likely N: that the line will have no effect without this tag. install-menu may N: report this as an error during package installation. N: E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:3 E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:4 E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:5 E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:6 E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:7 E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:8 E: qrfcview: bad-test-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/qrfcview:9 though the menu file is in correct menu-2 format: !C menu-2 ?package(qrfcview): needs="X11" section="Applications/Text" title="qRFCView" description="RFC Viewer" command="/usr/bin/qRFCView" icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/qrfcview.xpm" ; (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/07/msg00000.html) All packages in those pages: http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/bad-test-in-menu-item.html and http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/menu-item-missing-required-tag.html are simply using menu-2 format. Notice that this bug report is different from #447391: I do not ask you to put menu-2 as standard, simply not to choke on it.
