This also happens with eom_1.10.3-2_amd64.changes as currently in the archives.

1.10.3-2 is no longer there, so I took a look at 1.10.4-1.

The way Lintian handles "and"s and "or"s is probably buggy (see #801182), but for this copyright file, there's a simpler explanation.

Ok. I will follow-up on #801182 with more issues I observe. I had various of those during the last half year or so.

Will you merge this bug into #801182? I think it is a duplicate and requires more info from my side. (Or shall I do the merge?)

The paragraphs at lines 81 and 195 look like this:

Files: ...
License: GPL-2+
Using license from COPYING file.

This is an (unintentional) definition of the GPL-2+ license, so Lintian correctly complains that there's more than one definition of it.

I believe these paragraphs should read:

Files: ...
License: GPL-2+
Comment:
Using license from COPYING file.

Argghhh... Sorry for being noise regarding eom. Good catch.

(There was another MATE package where the Comments: field identifiers were missing earlier and where the lintian warnings remained after fixing the Comments: fields. Unfortunately, I cannot remember which package was affected.)

Please note: until the release of Debian jessie, the above issue did not exist in lintian.

Yup, this tag was added to Lintian in 2.5.31.

Ok.

Thanks for your time. I will get back to the issue once I observe the next lintian warnings, so we can get the issue sorted out.

Greets,
Mike
