An update on this: Lintian/2.5.3 properly reports if certain overrides may have been ignored due to the current profile (with --verbose it lists tags it saw overrides for). As mentioned earlier, patches for the Ubuntu profile are still welcome. ~Niels -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824122 Title: overrides for some errors no longer work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lintian/+bug/824122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 824122] Re: overrides for some errors no longer work
Hi This is a feature of the new Lintian profiles in 2.5.2. Vendor profiles may declare some tags non-overridable and dir-or-file-in-opt is one of those. The ubuntu vendor profile inherits this (indirectly) from the ftp-master-auto-reject profile. Whether these tags should be non-overridable in Ubuntu, I do not know. I will leave it to Ubuntu developers to figure that out and send patches to us accordingly. If this package is for a third-party vendor, it may be useful to create a separate lintian profile for that vendor. Please refer to the Lintian user manual (installed in /usr/share/doc/lintian/) for more info on what profiles can do and how to make them. I can second that Lintian could be more helpful with declaring that it has ignored overrides. ~Niels -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824122 Title: overrides for some errors no longer work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lintian/+bug/824122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Many thanks for the info there - it is much appreciated. I will look into which is more appropriate, a profile or a patch, but this definitely shouldn't be non-overrideable in Ubuntu as A.) All of our Partner packages install here by default and B.) All user-submitted apps do as well. Not a big deal though, thanks again for the info! -Brian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824122 Title: overrides for some errors no longer work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lintian/+bug/824122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
