Package: lintian Version: 2.114.0ubuntu1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
maintainer-script may have as its only function to forbid package installation or upgrade. For instance, I have a `preinst` script that forbids upgrade but does not forbid its installation: ===== #!/bin/sh set -e case $1 in upgrade) echo "************************************************************" >&2 echo "*** This package cannot be live-upgraded, it is supposed ***" >&2 echo "*** to be preinstalled in the bootable image ***" >&2 echo "************************************************************" >&2 exit 1 ;; esac #DEBHELPER# exit 0 ===== In my view, this is a perfectly valid use case, however the check for "empty maintainer script" in lib/Lintian/Check/MaintainerScripts/Empty.pm line 86 detects such script as "empty" and reports a warning. I have posted a comment about the same in salsa gitlab: https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/aa476eb35498f84eb5214a483cd68be9b28188fe#note_306753 -- System Information: Irrelevant since I am filing it from a workstation, and the problem exists in the master branch of the lintian repo. -- no debconf information
