Package: lintian Version: 1.23.16 Severity: wishlist gzip crc errors in the components of a .deb (conrol.tar.gz and data.tar.gz) should be detected and reported as a lintian error.
For example, #364293 should thusly have been detected by lintian (not that it'd have helped in this case, as lintien does detect the md5sum mismatch), but still. --Jeroen -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1cvs20060413-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.41-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.13.18 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.17-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.34.2+20060415 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchang 1.0-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii man-db 2.4.3-3 The on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5- 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
