Bug#919162: lintian.d.o apears to report many failures twice
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.121
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
It seems that lintian.d.o lists some (all?) failures in a binary package twice.
Things look ok for the source package report.
For example at
https://lintian.debian.org/full/pkg-grub-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net.html#grub2_2.02_x2bdfsg1-10
under `hardening-no-bindnow` for the `grub-common` package I see:
* usr/bin/grub-editenv
* usr/bin/grub-editenv
* usr/bin/grub-file
* usr/bin/grub-file
* usr/bin/grub-fstest
* usr/bin/grub-fstest
* usr/bin/grub-glue-efi
* usr/bin/grub-glue-efi
* etc
* etc
similarly under `grub-coreboot` for `conflicts-with-version`,
`maintainer-script-should-not-use-dpkg-maintscript-helper` and
`unused-debconf-template` each entry is duplicated.
I failed to find the raw reports anywhere so I can't see if these are
duplicated there, nor see if maybe there are two legitimate separate runs which
aren't being distinguished in the report.
Version given in the metadata above is as reported on the website today, not
what I am running locally (currently 2.5.116, but shouldn't be relevant, except
the System Information below will reflect it). I first noticed this issue ages
(at least months ago), apologies for my not reporting it sooner.
Regards,
Ian.
