Hi Axel, Thanks for your report. Unfortunately, while I can reproduce the lintian warning with t-prof 3.3-1, said package does *not* contain a series file (in its diff.gz). Accordingly, it looks like a true positive. Furthermore more, there is (at first glance) nothing in the Lintian code that tests the size of the file - only its presence. I suspect you suffer from a different problem that leads to the (empty) series file being excluded from the source package. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
