The output should be: N: Lintian v2.2.18 N: Lintian root directory: /usr/share/lintian N: Configuration file: /etc/lintianrc N: Laboratory: N: Archive directory: N: Distribution: N: Default unpack level: 1 N: Architecture: any N: ---- N: Setting up lab in /tmp/BZlkcVrWuN ... N: Processing 1 packages... N: Selected action: check N: Requested unpack level: 1 It's dying somewhere between setting up the lab and starting to check packages, probably while loading information about the checks and collection scripts. Could you try running lintian with -d -d -d instead to get a more detailed trace? Nowhere does Lintian just randomly exit without printing an error, so something very strange is going wrong with your Lintian setup. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
