Bug#945299: lintian: ignores all but last override of a tag
Package: lintian
Version: 2.37.0
Severity: serious
Justification: causes ftp-master autorejects
Hi,
this is a regression in 2.36 or 2.37. It worked fine up to 2.35.
In povray, I have this in debian/source/lintian-overrides:
===== 8< =====
# upstream did not release a source tarball,
# the .orig.tar.gz is an archived git tag
debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature
# not used for the Unix build
source-contains-autogenerated-visual-c++-file windows/pvengine.rc
source-contains-autogenerated-visual-c++-file windows/resource.h
source-contains-autogenerated-visual-c++-file windows/cmedit/cmedit.rc
source-contains-autogenerated-visual-c++-file windows/cmedit/resource.h
source-contains-prebuilt-ms-help-file distribution/platform-specific/windows/Help/povray37.chm
source-contains-prebuilt-ms-help-file libraries/zlib/contrib/dotzlib/DotZLib.chm
===== >8 =====
and this in debian/povray-examples.lintian-overrides:
===== 8< =====
# these are a few small text files
duplicate-files usr/share/doc/povray/examples/templates/*.txt
duplicate-files usr/share/doc/povray/examples/templates/Textures_Materials/Stones_and_Granites/50_T_Stone2.jpg usr/share/doc/povray/examples/templates/Textures_Materials/Stones_and_Granites/50_T_Stone3.jpg
===== >8 =====
but with lintian 2.37.0 I'm now getting these tags:
P: povray source: source-contains-autogenerated-visual-c++-file windows/pvengine.rc

This looks like only the last override for a tag is honored.
Setting severity to serious since this caused a ftp-master autoreject
for me (due to the .chm file).
