--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.115.3+68commits+git091d167f6 Severity: normal When running against BackupPC, lintian emits this tag: X: backuppc source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file 535 > 512 [lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm:52] But there is no such long line in that file: $ cat -n lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm | egrep '^\s*52\s' | wc -c 77 $ cut -c512- lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm | egrep -v '^$' $ file lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm: Perl5 module source, ASCII text $ So "file" also doesn't mention any long line stuff (which it usually does, I just don't know its limits). Line 52 looks like this: if ( $Jobs{$host}{type} eq "" && defined($Status{$host}) ); Not yet debugged, so not sure why lintian thinks that this file has any long line. According to my statistics the two longes lines in there are two lines which each 99 characters. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') merged-usr: no Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.39.90.20230110-1 ii bzip2 1.0.8-5+b1 ii clzip [lzip-decompressor] 1.13-4 ii diffstat 1.65-1 ii dpkg 1.21.18 ii dpkg-dev 1.21.18 ii file 1:5.44-1 ii gettext 0.21-10 ii gpg 2.2.40-1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.6 ii iso-codes 4.12.0-1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.40+b2 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libberkeleydb-perl 0.64-2+b1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-2 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-4+b1 ii libclone-perl 0.46-1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.28-2 ii libconst-fast-perl 0.014-2 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.32-1+b1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.58-2 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.10-1.1 ii libdata-validate-uri-perl 0.07-2 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-2+b1 ii libdigest-sha-perl 6.03-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.21.18 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.05-1+b1 ii libencode-perl 3.19-1+b1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.09-2 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-3 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-2 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-3 ii libhtml-tokeparser-simple-perl 3.16-4 ii libio-interactive-perl 1.023-2 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.048-3 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004004-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-2 ii liblist-someutils-perl 0.59-1 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.12-2 ii libmldbm-perl 2.05-4 ii libmoo-perl 2.005005-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-2 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-2 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.144-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.20-1+b1 ii libperlio-utf8-strict-perl 0.010-1 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.634-1+b2 ii libregexp-wildcards-perl 1.05-3 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 5.001+ds-1+b1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 5.001+ds-2 ii libsort-versions-perl 1.62-3 ii libsyntax-keyword-try-perl 0.28-1 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.38-2+b1 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-5+b1 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.16-1 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.9-1+b2 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-2 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-2+b1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-2 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-2 ii liburi-perl 5.17-1 ii libwww-mechanize-perl 2.15-1 ii libwww-perl 6.67-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0207+dfsg+really+2.0134-1+b1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.84+ds-1+b1 ii lunzip [lzip-decompressor] 1.13-4 ii lzip [lzip-decompressor] 1.23-4 ii lzop 1.04-2 ii man-db 2.11.2-1 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libencode-perl] 5.36.0-7 ii plzip [lzip-decompressor] 1.10-4 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-27 ii xlunzip [lzip-decompressor] 0.7-6 ii xz-utils 5.4.1-0.0 lintian recommends no packages.
