Package: lintian Version: 2.5.26 Severity: normal Tags: patch There's an extraneous / in the regex after the match for the actual exec code. This will likely cause every correct desktop file to emit a false positive.
Looking at the existing packages that have been flagged, they're nearly all incorrect: epiphany-browser: http://sources.debian.net/src/epiphany-browser/3.13.90-1/data/epiphany.desktop.in.in/#L7 ftools-fv: valid mupen64plus-ui-console: http://sources.debian.net/src/mupen64plus-ui-console/2.0%2B18%2Bgfb21340-1/data/mupen64plus.desktop/#L7 parley: http://sources.debian.net/src/parley/4:4.14.0-2/src/parley.desktop/#L58 pentobi: http://sources.debian.net/src/pentobi/8.2-1/data/pentobi.desktop.in/#L8 pitivi: http://sources.debian.net/src/pitivi/0.93-4/data/pitivi.desktop.in/#L6 scid: http://sources.debian.net/src/scid/1:4.5.1.cvs20140429-2/debian/scid.desktop/#L8 tribler: http://sources.debian.net/src/tribler/6.3.1%2Bgit20140902.9a5a2604-1/Tribler/Main/Build/Ubuntu/tribler.desktop/#L4 -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.24.51.20140903-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-7 ii diffstat 1.58-1 ii file 1:5.19-1 ii gettext 0.19.2-2 ii hardening-includes 2.5+nmu1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b2 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.38-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.37-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.13 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.194-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.03-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-2+b1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.09-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.64-1 ii man-db 2.6.7.1-1 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.20.0-6 ii t1utils 1.37-2.1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.25-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-3+b1 ii perl 5.20.0-6 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.20.0-6 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.17.13 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 ii libyaml-perl 1.09-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 -- no debconf information
