Package: lintian Version: 2.4.1 Severity: normal Lintian issues an informational item (taken from http://lintian.debian.org/):
There appears to be no blank line after the most recent NEWS.Debian entry. The current apt-listchanges takes the blank that separates entries for different packages from the blank line following the trailer line of each NEWS.Debian file. This means that unless there is a blank line after an entry, it may be displayed to the user without a blank line between it and entries from other packages. Please add a blank line (which, if this is the only entry in the file, may mean adding a trailing blank line). This is unbelievable. Should we modify several hundred source packages just because apt-listchanges cannot properly display NEWS files? If this is an issue than it should be fixed in apt-listchanges, and not by a workaround in source packages! -Ralf. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.20.1-11 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.7.2 Debian package development tools ii file 5.04-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.18-1 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 Perl module that automatically gen ii libipc-run-perl 0.89-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 collection of modules to manipulat ii liburi-perl 1.54-1 module to manipulate and access UR ii locales 2.11.2-1 Embedded GNU C Library: National L ii man-db 2.5.7-3 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-pe 5.10.1-13 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
