Package: grace Version: 1:5.1.22-9 Severity: minor Hi Nicholas,
A local build of grace_5.1.22-9 in Ubuntu raised the lintian warning: "wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog". This occurs because Debian policy dictates that the upstream changelog should be installed to /usr/share/doc/grace/changelog.gz but we install it to /usr/share/doc/grace/CHANGES.html. The relevant policy section can be found at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-changelogs I believe the reason why this is happening, is that we include the HTML version of the upstream changelog in the debian/grace.docs file in the source package which is parsed by dh_installdocs. Instead, we should use dh_installchangelogs to create a compressed, plain-text copy of the changelog. I have attached a copy of the debdiff I submitted to Ubuntu, which I believe solves the problem. Thanks, Alex ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: grace 1:5.1.22-9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-1.28-generic 2.6.38-rc2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-1-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Feb 4 00:20:45 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta amd64 (20100318) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: grace
