Bug#923696: lintian: Bad examples in Lintian::Tutorial::TestSuite

[Xavier Guimard]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.9.1
Severity: minor

Hi all,

To launch part of the tests, Lintian::Tutorial::Testsuite proposes to
use either:

  $ debian/rules runtests onlyrun=tag:$tag
  $ t/bin/runtests --dump-logs -k t debian/test-out tag:$tag

None of these examples work (all test launched or error). Looking at
source code, I ran with success:

  $ t/bin/runtests --unattended --work-dir=debian/test-out --onlyrun tag:$tag t

Same for other examples ($check,...)

Cheers,
Xavier
