Package: lintian Version: 2.5.39.1 Severity: normal Recent debhelper versions automatically generate dbgsym packages, including for bi- or tri-arch packages. This causes lintian to output hundred of warnings like this one:
E: libc6-x32-dbgsym: binary-from-other-architecture usr/lib/debug/.build-id/00/02e7d8dea880dca1b41a8320ee21ee8eb31d99.debug E: libc6-x32-dbgsym: binary-from-other-architecture usr/lib/debug/.build-id/00/bf0686e72e03652b2dc0bcaa76aeba5ec5e864.debug E: libc6-x32-dbgsym: binary-from-other-architecture usr/lib/debug/.build-id/01/1d6e5033b0ae71215bf1d8b122d9ad4f4816fd.debug E: libc6-x32-dbgsym: binary-from-other-architecture usr/lib/debug/.build-id/01/bd7da1f231079525315a65c8104b3fcab0f0ab.debug As the name is not predictable, it's not easy to add a lintian override for them. Please ignore foreign binaries when they are in usr/lib/debug or in dbgsym packages. NB: please feel free to reassign this bug to debhelper if you consider it should not generate dbgsym package for bi- or tri-arch packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.25.90.20151209-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8 ii diffstat 1.60-1 ii file 1:5.25-2 ii gettext 0.19.6-1 ii hardening-includes 2.8+nmu2 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b5 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.55-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.38-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.4 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.198-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.94-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.413-1+b1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-8 ii libperl5.22 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.22.1-3 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.69-1 ii man-db 2.7.5-1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-1 ii perl 5.22.1-3 ii t1utils 1.38-4 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii dpkg 1.18.4 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b1 ii perl 5.22.1-3 ii perl-modules-5.22 [libautodie-perl] 5.22.1-3 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.18.4 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-2+b1 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 ii libyaml-perl 1.15-1 -- no debconf information
