Why isn't > my error not detected? Because lintian supports checking different things. If you run it on a *.dsc file, it checks the source package. If you run it on a *.deb file, it checks a binary package. If you run it on *.changes, it checks everything listed in that *.changes file. All of those ways of running lintian are valid. Running it directly on source and .deb files is used when checking the whole archive. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
