Hi, as announced in our talk at debconf'18 [1] we intend a MBF about wrong redirections in maintainer scripts. In general these are of the form
foo 2>&1 1> /dev/null Here it was probably intended to send both stderr and stdout to /dev/null. In reality the effect of this is to send only 1 to /dev/null, and to send 2 to the file that 1 was sent to before that line. We found 128 occurrences of this problem in sid in 110 different packages. A list of packages and of maintainers is attached. Do you think that a MBF is appropriate for this? If yes then it deserves probably only severity=minor. We will of course also submit a wishlist bug for this against lintian. -Nicolas and Ralf. [1] https://debconf18.debconf.org/talks/90-mining-debian-maintainer-scripts/
