Bug#521012: [checks/deb-format] debian-binary is referred to as debian-control
Package: lintian Version: 2.2.8 Severity: minor When calling lintian with lintian -i -C deb-format over a malformed package, I get the following output: E: package: malformed-deb-archive second member data.tar.gz not control.tar.gz N: N:The binary package is not a correctly constructed archive. A binary N:Debian package must be an ar archive with exactly three members: N:debian-control, control.tar.gz, and data.tar.gz or data.tar.bz2 in N:exactly that order. The debian-control member must start with a single N:line containing the version number, with a major revision of 2. (...) I assume, debian-control should be debian-binary, as stated in deb(5): The first member is named debian-binary and contains a series of lines, separated by newlines. Currently only one line is present, the format version number, 2.0 at the time this manual page was written. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Will be fixed in the next release. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
