Package: lintian Version: 2.2.8 Severity: minor When calling lintian with "lintian -i -C deb-format" over a malformed package, I get the following output:
E: package: malformed-deb-archive second member data.tar.gz not control.tar.gz N: N: The binary package is not a correctly constructed archive. A binary N: Debian package must be an ar archive with exactly three members: N: debian-control, control.tar.gz, and data.tar.gz or data.tar.bz2 in N: exactly that order. The debian-control member must start with a single N: line containing the version number, with a major revision of 2. (...) I assume, "debian-control" should be "debian-binary", as stated in deb(5): "The first member is named debian-binary and contains a series of lines, separated by newlines. Currently only one line is present, the format version number, 2.0 at the time this manual page was written." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
