Source: lintian Version: 2.20.0 Tags: patch Hi Maintainer
In Ubuntu, lintian's autopkgtests started failing on armhf recently with several errors similar to the following: # Failed test 'Lintian passes for binaries-general' # at /tmp/autopkgtest.F5y7Cs/build.UzK/src/lib/Test/Lintian/Run.pm line 300. # Tags do not match # # --- ../../autopkgtest_tmp/testsuite/tags/checks/binaries/binaries-general/tags.specified.calibrated # +++ ../../autopkgtest_tmp/testsuite/tags/checks/binaries/binaries-general/tags.actual.parsed # +binaries-general (binary): spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/static iIF if # # Unexpected tags: # spelling-error-in-binary # # Looks like you failed 1 test of 1. This seems to have coincided with the upload of a new binutils in Ubuntu, and Matthias Klose suggested an upstream change [1] could be the cause. Adding 'iIF' to spelling-exceptions, as below, solved the problem. --- a/data/binaries/spelling-exceptions +++ b/data/binaries/spelling-exceptions @@ -11,3 +11,4 @@ itialize # From #923725 (carla) wIH # From #895841 (osmo-trx) wiH +iIF # binutils/armhf Regards Graham [1] https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=1c1e0fe58b9389bd40f5f642d20dc2e1befd4541
