Bug#507278: lintian: complains about uninitialized values for severity and certainty
Package: lintian
Version: 2.1.0
Severity: minor
lintian has started outputting a lot of perl warnings:
Use of uninitialized value $severity in hash element at /usr/share/lintian/lib/Tags.pm line 293.
Use of uninitialized value $certainty in hash element at /usr/share/lintian/lib/Tags.pm line 293.
(repeated once for each test)
In this particular case, I was running lintian after a build of the current version of ipsec-tools in unstable/testing (without changes).
