The package activates the ldconfig trigger even though no shared libraries are installed in a directory controlled by the dynamic library loader. Note this may be triggered by a bug in debhelper, that causes it to auto-generate an ldconfig trigger for packages that do not need it.

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.

This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the use of fortified libc functions. Either there are no potentially unfortified functions called by any routines, all unfortified calls have already been fully validated at compile-time, or the package was not built with the default Debian compiler flags defined by dpkg-buildflags. If built using dpkg-buildflags directly, be sure to import CPPFLAGS. NB: Due to false-positives, Lintian ignores some unprotected functions (e.g. memcpy).

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.

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. Visibility: error Show-Always: no Check: debian/changelog
The version number of your source package ends in +b and a number or has a Debian revision containing three parts. These version numbers are used by binary NMUs and should not be used as the source version. (The +b form is the current standard; the three-part version number now obsolete.) Please refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 5.10.2.1 for details. Visibility: warning Show-Always: no Check: fields/version
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 acceptor, if you see one. Please refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.2 for details.

The source package uses debhelper, but it does not include ${misc:Depends}
in the given binary package's debian/control entry. Any debhelper command
may add dependencies to ${misc:Depends} that are required for the work
that it does, so recommended best practice is to always add
${misc:Depends} to the dependencies of each binary package if debhelper is
in use.
Please refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.

A field in debian/control has an extension prefix but is also known without it. Extension prefixes like XS-* or XC-* allow experimental fields to propagate to the right place when packages are built with dpkg. In this case, however, the field is also known without the prefix. In all likelihood the field was permanently adopted, and dpkg learned how to deal with it. Please consider removing the extension prefix for the field name.

This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a debian/watch file. This file is used for automatic detection of new upstream versions by the Debian External Health Status project and other project infrastructure. If this package is maintained upstream, please consider adding a debian/watch file to detect new releases. If the package is not maintained upstream or if upstream uses a distribution mechanism that cannot be meaningfully monitored by uscan and the Debian External Health Status project, please consider adding a debian/watch file containing only comments documenting the situation. Please refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.11 and the uscan(1) manual page for details. Visibility: info Show-Always: no Check: debian/watch
This package does not use the dh sequencer in debian/rules. While maintainers may use a variety of build systems, this one is by far the most popular. Maintainers are strongly encouraged to use the dh sequencer in new packages and convert existing ones when appropriate. Visibility: info Show-Always: no Check: debian/rules/dh-sequencer
The source package refers to a Standards-Version older than the one that was current at the time the package was created (according to the timestamp of the latest debian/changelog entry). Please consider updating the package to current Policy and setting this control field appropriately. If the package is already compliant with the current standards, you don't have to re-upload the package just to adjust the Standards-Version control field. However, please remember to update this field next time you upload the package. See /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz in the debian-policy package for a summary of changes in newer versions of Policy.

This package uses a debhelper compatibility level that is no longer recommended. Please consider using the recommended level. For most packages, the best way to set the compatibility level is to specify debhelper-compat (= X) as a Build-Depends in debian/control. You can also use the debian/compat file or export DH_COMPAT in debian/rules. If no level is selected debhelper defaults to level 1, which is deprecated. Please refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details. Visibility: pedantic Show-Always: no Check: debhelper
The field Rules-Requires-Root is missing from the file debian/control. Over time, Debian has sucessively narrowed the steps for which elevated privileges are required. It speeds up the building of installation packages in the archive. Eventually, Debian will switch the default 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. Please refer to /usr/share/doc/dpkg/rootless-builds.txt.gz, Debian Policy Manual section 4.9.2, and Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.31 for details.

This file contains lines with trailing whitespace characters.
Whilst often harmless and unsightly, such extra whitespaces can also cause
tools to interpret the whitespace characters literally. The tool diff(1)
does not like them, either. They are best avoided.
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:
$ sed -i -e :a -e '/^\n*$/{$d;N;};/\n$/ba' debian/rules
