Package: lintian Hi. I got a warning "license-problem-gfdl-invariants" for the Shishi package, however I believe it is a false positive. The intent is that there should not be any invariant section, and as far as I can tell, the GFDL license template in the files are consistent with that.
See: http://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/[email protected]#shishi The file it complains about is 'doc/shishi.html'. A grep is shown below. The file contains a copy of the GFDL, which contains an example of how to write templates with invariant sections. Is that the problem? Anyway, I'd be thankful if you could take a look at doc/shishi.html and tell me if it is a bug in the file or in lintian. I'm happy to fix the file if it turns out that the file claims there is an invariant section.
