The error suggests that the index file which Lintian has generated of the orig tarball contains a line in an unexpected format as the first line - specifically, it does not contain at least six space-separated fields. Unfortunately I'm currently unable to reproduce the error using either Lintian 2.2.6 or current HEAD (on amd64/sid and in an i386/sid chroot). If it's consistently failing for you, could you please re-run the test passing --keep-lab and check what the first line of the file "source/mailman/index" contains? (Using -v as well will indicate the directory name used for the temporary lab). Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
