Package: lintian Version: 1.23.28 Severity: normal (debconf maitnainers CC'ed)
Some packages use "error" debconf templates (indeed quite often on my suggestion when I launched a campaign to remove useless debconf notes back in September 2006). The support for this has been introduced only in debconf 1.4.69, so lintian should warn maintainers about not version depending on that version of debconf if their debconf templates use the "error" type. Please accept my apologies for not providing a patch for this. I indeed wanted this to be recorded so that someone could come up with a patch some day..:) -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.17-3 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.43-2 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.13.25 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.20-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.16.1-1 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchangel 1.0-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii man-db 2.4.3-6 The on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5-pe 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
