Apologies for the amount of information requested, but the warnings suggest that something is quite broken, and I can't reproduce them locally. The above sounds like lintian's not reading the tag files from /usr/share/lintian/checks/*.desc properly. The number of occurrences of "Tag:", "Severity:" and "Certainty:" in each file should match. Would it be possible to get hold of a copy of the package(s) you're checking? I've just done "apt-get source ipsec-tools; pdebuild" on an amd64 unstable box and lintian 2.1.0 didn't produce any perl warnings when run against the .changes, .dsc or .deb. Finally, do you have LINTIAN_ROOT set in your environment? Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
