Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.22
Severity: normal
Hi,
as suggested by Niels Thykier on IRC I'm reporting the following issue:
Given the line:
Build-Depends: foo, foo [blub]
lintian will not detect the invalid arch "blub". Though it does find it
if the line says:
Build-Depends: foo [blub], foo
I found this while trying to create a patch for build profiles. The
following would not produce an error (but should):
Build-Depends: foo, foo <blubber>
It seems the relevant code in checks/fields.pm is not run.
cheers, josch
