Hm, that looks like a bug in the librep9 package, yes? Shared library packages may not contain unversioned files, since that prevents two versions of the shared library from co-existing (Policy 8.2). I don't see it in the lenny release policy, so the release team may not consider it RC, but it's a violation of a Policy must. I'm happy to add the interpreter, but I think it's going to need to move into a separate package at some point, so maybe Lintian should wait until the name of that package has been determined. I'll file a bug against librep9. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
