Hi,
I just see that my package (tailor) trigger a lintian error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian/mainteneur/tailor$ lintian -i tailor_0.9.26-1_all.deb
E: tailor: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./usr/bin/tailor
N:
N: Packages with scripts that are executed with python must depend on the
N: package python. Those that have scripts executed with a versioned
N: python package need a dependency on the equivalent version of python.
N:
N: For example, if a script in the package uses #!/usr/bin/python, then
N: the package needs a dependency on "python". If a script uses
N: #!/usr/bin/python2.2, then the package need a dependency on
N: "python2.2".

N: In some cases a weaker relationship, such as Suggests or Recommends,

However:

Looking at lintian internal, I see that it badly builds $deps{all}
(near line 226 in checks/scripts) due to newlines. The following patch
fixes it:
--- scripts.orig 2006-08-29 12:33:41.000000000 +0200
+++ scripts 2006-08-29 12:32:19.000000000 +0200

$all_deps .= ', ' if $all_deps;
$all_deps .= $pkg;
+$all_deps =~ s/\n/, /g;
$deps{all} = Dep::parse($all_deps);
open(SCRIPTS, "scripts") or fail("cannot open lintian scripts file: $!");
Best regards,
Vincent
PS: this can be related to #380286 (some keywords are the same but I do
not really check)
