binary itself:

The typo is there:
$ strings usr/lib/libvigraimpex.so.2.0.160 | grep -i unkown
Unkown resolution unit
$ lintian-info -t spelling-error-in-binary
N: spelling-error-in-binary
[...]
N: dictionary like a spelling checker does. For Lintian's convenience all
N: *words are normalised to _lower case_.*
[...]
N: To find the original word you can run:
N:
N: *strings <binary> | grep _-i_ <word>*
Closing it as there's nothing wrong with lintian and the right method to
find the original word is already documented.
