Package: cdbs Version: 0.4.93 Severity: normal Tags: patch When new copyright information is detected by licensecheck, the displayed procedure advises to compare/replace copyright_hints with copyright_newhints. However, if COPYRIGHT_CHECK_STRICT is not set, the copyright_newhints is removed in all cases, which makes the file unavailable for further processing.
The proposed patch removes the copyright_newhints only if there is no further processing to do. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cdbs depends on: ii debhelper 8.1.3 helper programs for debian/rules Versions of packages cdbs recommends: ii autotools-dev 20100122.1 Update infrastructure for config.{ Versions of packages cdbs suggests: ii devscripts 2.10.72 scripts to make the life of a Debi -- no debconf information
