W hardening-no-relro

This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "read-only relocation"
link flag. This package was likely not built with the default Debian
compiler flags defined by dpkg-buildflags. If built using dpkg-buildflags
directly, be sure to import LDFLAGS.

I hardening-no-bindnow

This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "bindnow" linker flag.

This is needed (together with "relro") to make the "Global Offset Table"
(GOT) fully read-only. The bindnow feature trades startup time for
improved security. Please consider enabling this feature or consider
overriding the tag (possibly with a comment about why).

If you use dpkg-buildflags, you may have to add hardening=+bindnow or
hardening=+all to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.

The relevant compiler flags are set in LDFLAGS.

I spelling-error-in-binary

Lintian found a spelling error in the given binary. Lintian has a list of
common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary like
a spelling checker does.

If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help of
gettext or a similar tool, please fix the error in the translations as
well as the English text to avoid making the translations fuzzy. With
gettext, for example, this means you should also fix the spelling mistake
in the corresponding msgids in the *.po files.

You can often find the word in the source code by running:

grep -rw <word> <source-tree>

This tag may produce false positives for words that contain non-ASCII
characters due to limitations in strings.

P copyright-refers-to-symlink-license

The copyright file refers to the versionless symlink in
/usr/share/common-licenses for the full text of the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL
license. This symlink is updated to point to the latest version of the
license when a new one is released. The package appears to allow
relicensing under later versions of its license, so this is legally
consistent, but it implies that Debian will relicense the package under
later versions of those licenses as they're released. It is normally
better to point to the version of the license the package references in
its license statement.

For example, if the package says something like "you may redistribute it
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your
option) any later version", the debian/copyright file should refer to
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, not /GPL.

For packages released under the same terms as Perl, Perl references the
GPL version 1, so point to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-1.

E epoch-changed-but-upstream-version-did-not-go-backwards

The previous version of this package had a different version epoch to the
current version but the upstream version did not go "backwards". For
example, the previous package version was "1:1.0-1" and the current
version is "2:2.0-1".

This was likely an accidental bump or addition of an epoch.

Epochs exist to cope with changes to the upstream version numbering
scheme. Whilst they are a powerful tool, increasing or adding an epoch has
many downsides including causing issues with versioned dependencies, being
misleading to users and being aesthetically unappealing. Whilst they
should be avoided, valid reasons to add or increment the epoch include:

- Upstream changed their versioning scheme in a way that makes the
latest version lower than the previous one.
- You need to permanently revert to a lower upstream version.

Temporary revertions (eg. after an NMU) should use not modify or introduce
an epoch - please use the CURRENT+reallyFORMER until you can upload the
latest version again.

If you are unsure whether you need to increase the epoch for a package,
please consult the debian-devel mailing list.

Comment:

The code in debian/rules requires a prerequisite
that is not presently listed in the package's Build-Depends.

In the special case of Python, affected packages should Build-Depend on
one of python3, python3-all, python3-dev, or python3-all-dev. Which one
depends on whether a package supports multiple Python versions, and also
whether the package builds Python modules or uses Python only as part of
the build process.

Packages that depend on a specific Python version may build-depend on any
appropriate pythonX.Y or pythonX.Y-dev package instead.

The condition you see in the context is not a recommendation on what to
add. If you see a list, more than likely only one member is needed to make
this tag go away. You probably also do not need the :any multiarch
qualifier, if you see one.

Please refer to Package relationships (Section 4.2) in the Debian Policy
Manual for details.

The field Rules-Requires-Root is missing from the file debian/control.

Over time, Debian has successively narrowed the steps for which elevated

archive-wide behaviour to expedite the build process further.

Please declare explicitly that the sources do not require root privileges.
You can use the setting Rules-Requires-Root: no in the source stanza of
debian/control, but please verify with diffoscope(1) that the installation
packages produced are in fact identical.

P trailing-whitespace

This file contains lines with trailing whitespace characters.

Whilst often harmless and unsightly, such extra whitespaces can also cause

Some of these problems can be hard to track down.

Whitespace at the end of lines may be removed with the following:

$ sed -i -e 's@[[:space:]]*$@@g' debian/control debian/changelog

If you use Emacs, you can also use "M-x wh-cl" (whitespace-cleanup).

However, if you wish to only remove trailing spaces and leave trailing
tabs (eg. for Makefiles), you can use the following code snippet:

$ sed -i -e 's@[ ]*$@@g' debian/rules

To remove empty lines from the end of a file, you can use:
