This is not the case though, since even if a Files: * field is present, this warning was triggered. In newer versions of lintian, this warning has changed, so the following file: ### Format: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Upstream-Name: td Source: http://example.com License: dog This is dog license Files: * Copyright: someone License: other This is other license ### Now reports W: cn source: dep5-file-paragraph-reference-header-paragraph dog (paragraph at line 7) Which is as far as I see still the same false positive. -- Martin Erik Werner <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
