Package: lintian Version: 2.5.22.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
while running lintian on my build of sound-juicer 3.11.90 (in experimental svn branch) I got the following output: E: sound-juicer source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants help/el/el.po invariant part is: version 1.1 or any ~ later version published by the free software foundation; with the invariant sections being list their ~ titles, with the front-cover texts</ ~ link> being list, and with the back- ~ cover texts being list N: N: The given source file is licensed under GFDL with invariant section or N: front-cover or back-cover text. N: N: GFDL with invariant sections, front-cover or back-cover texts are not N: suitable for main. N: N: Should this file be multi-licensed, please override the tag. N: N: Should this be a false-positive, please report a bug. N: N: Refer to http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/gfdlinvariant and N: http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 for details. N: N: Severity: serious, Certainty: possible N: N: Check: cruft, Type: source N: E: sound-juicer source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants help/en_GB/en_GB.po invariant part is: version 1.1 or any ~ later version published by the free software foundation; with the invariant sections being list their ~ titles, with the front-cover texts</ ~ link> being list, and with the back- ~ cover texts being list E: sound-juicer source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants help/sv/sv.po invariant part is: version 1.1 or any ~ later version published by the free software foundation; with the invariant sections being list their ~ titles, with the front-cover texts</ ~ link> being list, and with the back- ~ cover texts being list The translation files (po) contains a paragraph with licensing information as as string that should be translated. It is not the license for the file itself. Also the text in for example el.po explicitly states "... with no Invariant .....". c.f. https://git.gnome.org/browse/sound-juicer/plain/help/el/el.po These files seems to contain outdated (commented out) msgid strings which includes some statement about an invariant section which probably could be scrubbed. (Once the translations are updated there will dissapear I guess.) I think this is a false positive.... -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.24.51.20140425-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii diffstat 1.58-1 ii file 1:5.18-1 ii gettext 0.18.3.2-1 ii hardening-includes 2.5 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.37-2 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.36-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.9 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.193-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.03-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-2 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.06~01-2 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii man-db 2.6.7.1-1 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.18.2-3 ii t1utils 1.37-2 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.25-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-2 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.18.2-3 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.17.9 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b1 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 pn libyaml-perl <none> ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
