Actually, there is a8eb908b2933ccf96be7a5ce90de181bf4b24f4d[1], which could be the issue. If so, that false-positive is fixed in 2.5.11 (which is on lintian.d.o). I believe it is a regression caused by a change in collection/scripts sometime after 2.4.3 (coll/scripts in 2.4.3 appears to collect data from hardlinks, it doesn't in 2.5.10/2.5.11). ~Niels [1] http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=lintian/lintian.git;a=commitdiff;h=a8eb908b2933ccf96be7a5ce90de181bf4b24f4d -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
