Package: lintian Version: 1.23.28 Severity: normal Hello,
due to a packaging bug we got the binaries installed into the wrong location: /usr/bin/bin /usr/bin/bin/svn-inject /usr/bin/bin/svn-buildpackage /usr/bin/bin/svn-upgrade However, instead of identifying that and saying something like "inproper subdirectory /usr/bin/bin" lintian keeps telling: W: svn-buildpackage: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/svn-inject.1.gz 53: warning: can't find numbered character 195 W: svn-buildpackage: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/uclean.1.gz 22: warning: can't find numbered character 195 W: svn-buildpackage: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/svn-buildpackage.1.gz 211: warning: can't find numbered character 195 W: svn-buildpackage: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/svn-upgrade.1.gz 43: warning: can't find numbered character 195 W: svn-buildpackage: binary-without-manpage SDCommon.pm W: svn-buildpackage: binary-without-manpage svn-buildpackage.1 W: svn-buildpackage: binary-without-manpage svn-inject.1 W: svn-buildpackage: binary-without-manpage svn-upgrade.1 W: svn-buildpackage: binary-without-manpage uclean.1 W: svn-buildpackage: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/bin/share/man/man1/uclean.1 W: svn-buildpackage: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/bin/share/man/man1/svn-inject.1 W: svn-buildpackage: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/bin/share/man/man1/svn-upgrade.1 W: svn-buildpackage: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/bin/share/svn-buildpackage/SDCommon.pm W: svn-buildpackage: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/bin/share/man/man1/svn-buildpackage.1 At least on the last files one can guess that something is wrong, but it is not obvious. It should better display the whole path after binary-without-manpage or the last path of the part after /usr/bin.
