My current workaround for this no longer rely on CDBS, but essentially does this: 1>&2 exiftool '-textOut!' %d%f.%e:meta -short -short -recurse -ext ttf . licensecheck --copyright --deb-machine --recursive --lines 0 --check '.*' --ignore '.*\.ttf$' -- * find -type f -name '*.ttf' -delete My actual workaround scripts are tailored to each package, and typically the one most detailed and most up-to-date is the one for ghostscript: https://sources.debian.org/src/ghostscript/9.53.3%7Edfsg-5/debian/copyright-check/ - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
