--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.5.14 Severity: minor I'm aware that squeeze is no longer stable, and therefore probably not supported. Regardless, I just installed 2.5.14 on squeeze. It installed without error, but appears to exit with an error message, see below. The error in question refers to the line STDOUT->autoflush; Since the dependencies were satisfied, this may reflect some versioning issue.
