I have found the explanation:
,
| $ apt source backuppc
| [...]
| $ debcheckout backuppc
| [...]
| $ file backuppc/lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm
| backuppc/lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm: Perl5 module source, ASCII text
| $ file backuppc-4.4.0/lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm
| backuppc-4.4.0/lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm: Perl5 module source, ASCII
text, with very long lines (534)
`
The long line is generated by a Debian patch, and you do not have
patches applied in git. But lintian is smart enough to check the
_patched_ sources.
Thanks for maintaining lintian!
Cheers,
Sven

Bisection revealed that both this problem and the related one in
#1027040 were introduced in commit 6b922b209338 ("Do not insist on a
particular name for unversioned links to a shared library. (Closes:
#963099)").

Bug#1027040: lintian: lacks-unversioned-link-to-shared-library warning despite present linker script
Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.3
Severity: normal
I get these warnings in ncurses:
,
| W: libncurses6: lacks-unversioned-link-to-shared-library example:
usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so [lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.6.3]

usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so
[lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.6.3]
`
These files usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses{,w}.so actually exist in
libncurses-dev, but they are linker scripts rather than symlinks.

Bug#996688: lintian: strange complaints about ncurses symbols files
Package: lintian
Version: 2.108.0
I am getting complaints about the symbols files in ncurses, e.g. for
libtinfo6:
,
| $ lintian /var/cache/apt/archives/libtinfo6_6.2+20210905-1_amd64.deb
| E: libtinfo6: invalid-template-id-in-symbols-file (line 152)
| E: libtinfo6: invalid-template-id-in-symbols-file (line 175)
| E: libtinfo6: invalid-template-id-in-symbols-file (line 73)
| E: libtinfo6: syntax-error-in-symbols-file (line 50)
`
and similar issues in the other library packages from src:ncurses.
However, I do not see anything wrong with the symbols files, and they
have apparently worked fine for several years.
The Debian changelog gave no hint, bisection showed that the complaints
started with commit 24d90c81e2 ("Split shared-libs check into 10 smaller
checks."). Good luck figuring out which part of this commit is to
blame: 656 files changed, 4552 insertions(+), 1019 deletions(-).

Bug#996684: lintian: emits bogus embedded-library error for libtinfo6 package
Package: lintian
Version: 2.108.0
Severity: important
I am getting the following error in libtinfo6 (as well as in libtinfo5
and lib{32,64}tinfo6), which according to the FTP masters leads to
autorejection unless overridden:
,
| $ lintian /var/cache/apt/archives/libtinfo6_6.2+20210905-1_amd64.deb
| E: libtinfo6: embedded-library ncurses lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.6.2
`
Not too surprising that libtinfo6 "embeds" an ncurses library, since it
contains the said library.
Since there was no hint in the Debian changelog, I bisected the problem
and found commit bc93d09ae0 ("Bring the binaries check up to the latest
coding standards.") as the culprit.

Bug#798762: Lintian tag pre-depends-directly-on-multiarch-support too much debhelper-centric

Thankfully the multiarch-support package is gone for good, and any package pre-depending on it will simply not be installable in unstable and testing, so the chance of anyone reintroducing such a predependency should be rather low.

In a buster chroot lintian (version 2.15.0) is about seven times faster on the same manpages-dev package, however in sid downgrading lintian or man-db to their buster versions did not help. To track down the problem, I upgraded packages piecemeal from buster to sid in a chroot, and the massive lintian slowdown happened after upgrading libseccomp2 from 2.3.3-4 to 2.4.1-2. Hopefully the man-db and libseccomp maintainers can help here. Cheers, Sven

Bug#939874: lintian: missing-build-dependency tag false positives
Package: lintian Version: 2.21.0 Severity: normal There are currently three packages in the archive which trigger the missing-build-dependency error. All three of these build-depend on dh-autoreconf, but not on debhelper, and they also trigger the package-uses-debhelper-but-lacks-build-depends error[2]. All three cases are false positives, as the packages do not use any debhelper commands besides dh-autoreconf. To prove that, I have - built debhelper from git, which splits a libdebhelper-perl package off from it (see #821130); - created a local dh-autoreconf package which depends on libdebhelper-perl rather than on debhelper; - installed libdebhelper-perl and dh-autoreconf, but not debhelper in a build chroot. All three packages built fine, which shows that they do not need to build-depend on debhelper. 1. https://lintian.debian.org/tags/missing-build-dependency.html 2. https://lintian.debian.org/tags/package-uses-debhelper-but-lacks-build-depends.html -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-rc8-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.32.51.20190821-2 ii bzip21.0.8-2 ii diffstat 1.62-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.7 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.7 ii file 1:5.37-5 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-9 ii gpg 2.2.17-3 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.36+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.64-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.44-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl0.41-1+b1 ii libdigest-sha-perl 6.02-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.7 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libio-async-loop-epoll-perl 0.20-1 ii libio-async-perl 0.74-1 ii libipc-run-perl 20180523.0-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.53-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b4 ii libmoo-perl 2.003004-2 ii libpath-tiny-perl0.108-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii libtype-tiny-perl1.004004-1 ii liburi-perl 1.76-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.80+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.7-3 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2+b1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl]5.28.1-6 ii t1utils 1.41-3 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1+b1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b5 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch ii libhtml-parser-perl3.72-3+b3 ii libtext-template-perl 1.55-1 -- no debconf information

While there are indeed no shared libraries for libncurses++{,w} (see
#702687 on that topic), linking with -lncurses++ or -lncurses++w works
because these are provided as static libraries.

Looking at codesearch.debian.net, I found 28 source packages with the word "pratical" and 16 with "pratically", so maybe this mistake is common enough for lintian to suggest the corrections "practical" and "practically". -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-rc5-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.31.1-6 ii bzip2 1.0.6-9 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.1 ii file 1:5.34-2 ii gettext0.19.8.1-7 ii intltool-debian0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl0.1.34 ii libarchive-zip-perl1.64-1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.40-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.39-1 ii libdigest-sha-perl 6.02-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.1 ii libemail-valid-perl1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libipc-run-perl20180523.0-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl1.74-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.74+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.4-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.2-7 ii t1utils1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b4 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch ii dpkg-dev 1.19.1 ii libhtml-parser-perl3.72-3+b2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.53-1 -- no debconf information

IIUC that tag is for build-dependencies, not for normal dependencies. It is perfectly legitimate for -dev packages to depend on libc6-dev | libc-dev for instance, since they are also for users who do not necessarily have build-essential installed. It has to be conceded that neither the tag name nor the description are particularly clear about that. Cheers, Sven
Bug#884655: lintian: multiarch-foreign-static-library for non-multiarch package
Control: severity -1 serious
Control: tags -1 patch
Bumping the severity, since raising false lintian errors for nearly
every -dev package in the archive looks rather unacceptable.

Indeed. The checks in question are always performed, whether the
package is actually "Multi-Arch: foreign" or not. Attached is a patch
which fixes the problem for me.

Bug#701702: lintian: warn if debian/shlibs.local references foreign packages
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.10.4 Severity: wishlist There are ~70 source packages in unstable/main which contain debian/shlibs.local. It seems that most of them are library packages where this file contains information about packages actually shipped from the same source, and AFAIK there is nothing really wrong with that, although it could be considered bad style. However, there are also cases where shlibs.local is used to override information provided by _other_ packages, and this practice should be strongly discouraged since it can lead to wrong dependencies; see #583551 for an example, or #701627 for a problem I found myself. In other cases, shlibs.local is just cruft, referencing packages which no longer exist (see #701696, for instance). It would be great if lintian could detect when debian/shlibs.local references packages not built from the same source and issue a warning for that.

Ralf Jung p...@ralfj.de writes:
I'd like to extend this to hardening-no-fortify-functions: My package

-Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but I get a
hardening-no-stackprotector and hardening- no-fortify-functions for its
only binary.
False positives for _FORTIFY_SOURCE are somewhat rarer, and that one is
much easier to miss applying due to the CPPFLAGS vs. CFLAGS distinction.
My immediate inclination would be to ask people to add an override for
false positives for it, since it's more likely that the tag is valid.
Easier said then done, how should I override this warning:
,

usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmenu.so.5.9
`
Using the output verbatim only works for one architecture and generates
an additional problem (unused-override) for all others, substituting
${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH} at build time instead leads to
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libncurses5 having architecture-dependent
content, breaking multiarch coinstallability.

If libncurses.so.5.9 is moved to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu as well, the
warning disappears.
It seems this happens because lib_soname_path (in checks/binaries) only
looks in /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH} and not
/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}. The following patch works for me:

Bug#560053: lintian: Please update depends-on-old-emacs warning
Package: lintian Version: 2.2.18 Severity: wishlist For quite a while emacs23 has been the default Emacs flavor in squeeze/sid. Could you please update the depends-on-old-emacs warning to also warn if the package prefers emacs22 as first alternative? In related news, emacs21 has been removed from sid some time ago (testing removal is still pending).
