Hi, possibly the false positives are not volatile but rather my overrides are interpreted differently between local Sid and lintian.debian.org.
The problem of reading mangled strings from binaries remains. ------------------------------------------------------------------ While processing the other lintian complaints i notice that on lintian.debian.org all spelling-error-in-binary of libisoburn1 are reported as "O". Among them is a complaint about "lengH". So possibly something is wrong with my debian/libisoburn1.lintian-overrides which is meant to be essentially: libisoburn1 binary: spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* paramters parameters libisoburn1 binary: spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* Allow to Allow one to libisoburn1 binary: spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* ment meant libisoburn1 binary: spelling-error-in-binary *libisoburn.so* lengH length Complete file: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-libburnia/trunk/libisoburn/debian/libisoburn1.lintian-overrides?revision=381&view=markup If one of the rules covers all typos, then "lengH" is indeed unused. But how come ? (And why does local lintian not find the typos "Programm", "someting" which are rightly reported by lintian.debian.org ? Locally i run: lintian -I -E --color never --show-overrides | less ) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a nice day :) Thomas
