Bug#920638: lintian: False positives for maintainer-script-supports-ancient-package-version?
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.124
Severity: normal
Hi!
I've been running lintian against the current HEAD of the bacula git https://salsa.debian.org/bacula-team/bacula l
lintian --color always -EvIL +pedantic --no-tag-display-limit --profile debian/main --info bacula bacula_9.4.1-3_amd64.changes
and I get the following warning:
X: bacula-common: maintainer-script-supports-ancient-package-version postinst:20 9.0.7+dfsg-2
But bacula-common in oldstable was 5.2.6, while 9.0.7 is anything but
ancient, it is even newer than the one in current stable:
bacula-common | 5.2.6+dfsg-9 | oldoldstable | amd64
bacula-common | 5.2.6+dfsg-9.3 | oldstable | amd64
bacula-common | 7.4.3+dfsg-1+sid1~bpo8+1 | jessie-backports | amd64
bacula-common | 7.4.4+dfsg-6 | stable | amd64
bacula-common | 9.4.1-2~bpo9+1 | stretch-backports | amd64
bacula-common | 9.4.1-2 | testing | amd64
bacula-common | 9.4.1-2 | unstable | amd64
bacula_9.0.7+dfsg-2 was a version in unstable but never part of any
release, but the code is still needed to clear up leftover stuff, it
looks like this:
19: # remove temporary files erroneously created in /
20: if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" ge "9.0.5" && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "9.0.7+dfsg-2~"; then
21: rm -f /bacula-console.conf.ucftmp-*
22: rm -f /bacula-director.conf.ucftmp-*
23: rm -f /bacula-fd.conf.ucftmp-*
24: rm -f /bacula-qt-console.conf.ucftmp-*
25: rm -f /bacula-sd.conf.ucftmp-*
26: fi
Grüße,
Sven.
