Lintian matches strings in the binary against known text from common static libraries; see /usr/share/lintian/vendors/debian/ftp-master-auto-reject/data/binaries/embedded-libs In the specific case of tinyxml: tinyxml ||Error when TiXmlDocument added to document where the text after the "||" is what's being matched. For a local package, an override should be fine, imho. Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
