Package: lintian Version: 2.5.2 Severity: minor Hi,
just saw this lintian warning: W: faumachine: unknown-section otherosfs N: N: The "Section:" field in this package's control file is not one of the N: sections in use on the ftp archive. Valid sections are currently admin, N: comm, cli-mono, database, debug, devel, doc, editors, electronics, N: embedded, fonts, games, gnome, gnu-r, gnustep, graphics, hamradio, N: haskell, httpd, interpreters, java, kde, libdevel, libs, lisp, N: localization, kernel, mail, math, misc, net, news, ocaml, oldlibs, N: otherosfs, perl, php, python, ruby, science, shells, sound, tex, text, N: utils, vcs, video, web, x11, xfce, zope. N: N: The section name should be preceded by "non-free/" if the package is in N: the non-free archive area, and by "contrib/" if the package is in the N: contrib archive area. N: N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 2.4 (Sections) for details. N: N: Severity: normal, Certainty: certain N: N: Check: fields, Type: binary, udeb, source Somehow the information contradicts the warning. P.S.: Maybe this check is there to ensure that no AI will ever upload? :).
