Package: lintian Version: 2.2.12 Severity: wishlist Please add a test for lintian to check for the existence of /usr/share/info/dir(.gz)? in debs.
Upstream build systems usually install these files when they install info pages using install-info, but in Debian, the "dir" file is generated in an install-info trigger on install time and should not be shipped in the deb. Please see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=535322 for en example of such a bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-rc3 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.19.1-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.3 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-6 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.23 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libipc-run-perl 0.82-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.5-2 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-pe 5.10.0-23 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
