Bug#604047: warning: collect info objdump-info about package PACKAGE failed
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: normal
lintian does not work properly when binutils from experimental is
installed, I recorded the following errors when checking a kernel module
binary package. There are no errors on lenny or sid with binutils/sid.

Looks like there are two issues:
* objdump does no longer understand the contents of the package (either a
bug there or different parameters are nneded now)
* a race condition in lintian: after objdump failed, a temporary
directory with the package contents gets removed, but is concurrently
still used by different tests
