Hi, How do you use lintian? lintian pkg_ver_arch.deb lintian src_ver.dsc lintian src_ver_arch.changes The latter is preferred and should check everything included in the upload. You probably want to a full build for checking as some checks depend on the package type and what other packages (from the same source) are checked. > My lintian version is v.2.5.3ubuntu2, so I'm guessing it's been modified > for Ubuntu to skip such warnings/errors as the one mentioned above.

You should be able to use "lintian --profile debian" to get Debian-like behaviour. Mind you, you should still build the package in Debian chroot, as Ubuntu and Debian has more diveragence in their build systems. :) ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
