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. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 8.1.1 (ldconfig) and Bug#204975 for details. Severity: warning Check: shared-libs
See the Policy Manual for a list of the possible fields in a package control files.

The "Section:" field in this package's control file is not one of the sections in use on the ftp archive. Valid sections are currently admin, comm, cli-mono, database, debug, devel, doc, editors, electronics, embedded, fonts, games, gnome, gnu-r, gnustep, graphics, hamradio, haskell, httpd, interpreters, java, javascript, kde, libdevel, libs, lisp, localization, kernel, mail, math, misc, net, news, ocaml, oldlibs, otherosfs, perl, php, python, ruby, rust, science, shells, sound, tex, text, utils, vcs, video, web, x11, xfce, zope. The section name should be preceded by "non-free/" if the package is in the non-free archive area, and by "contrib/" if the package is in the contrib archive area.

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. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/copyright
The copyright file contains the incomplete Debian packaging copyright boilerplate from older versions of dh_make. (C) alone is not considered a valid copyright notice in some countries. The word Copyright or the © symbol should be used instead or in addition to (C). Copyright notices like this are, in any country that's a signatory to the Berne Convention, not required to claim copyright on a work, but their presence may allow claiming additional damages should a copyright case go to court. If you provide a notice, you may as well provide one that's legally recognized in a broader range of countries. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/copyright
The file is installed into a location that repeats the given path segment. An example would be /usr/lib/lib or /usr/share/myprogram/share. More often than not this is unintended. Refer to Bug#950052 and Bug#950027 for details. Severity: pedantic Check: files/hierarchy/path-segments

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. Severity: error Check: debian/changelog
The package doesn't specify a build dependency on a package that is used in debian/rules. Lintian intentionally does not take into account transitive dependencies. Even if the package build-depends on some package that in turn depends on the needed package, an explicit build dependency should be added. Otherwise, a latent bug is created that will appear without warning if the other package is ever updated to change its dependencies. Even if this seems unlikely, please always add explicit build dependencies on every non-essential, non-build-essential package that is used directly during the build. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.2 (Package relationships) for details. Severity: error Check: debian/rules
The source package refers to a Standards-Version that has been obsolete for more than two years. Please update your package to latest Policy and set 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. Refer to https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html for details. Severity: warning Check: fields/standards-version
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.) Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 5.10.2.1 (Recompilation or binary-only NMU) for details. Severity: warning Check: fields/version
The previous version of this package had a different version epoch (eg. 2:1.0-1) to the current version but there's no reference to this in the changelog entry. 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. Lintian looks in this version's changelog entry for the phrase "epoch". Severity: warning Check: debian/changelog
When you NMU a package, that fact should be mentioned on the first line in the changelog entry. Use the words "NMU" or "Non-maintainer upload" (case insensitive). Maybe you didn't intend this upload to be a NMU, in that case, please double-check that the most recent entry in the changelog is byte-for-byte identical to the maintainer or one of the uploaders. If this is a local package (not intended for Debian), you can suppress this warning by putting "local" in the version number or "local package" on the first line of the changelog entry. Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 5.11.3 (Using the DELAYED/ queue) for details. Severity: warning Check: nmu Renamed from: changelog-should-mention-nmu
A source NMU should have a Debian revision of "-x.x" (or "+nmuX" for a native package). This is to prevent stealing version numbers from the maintainer. Maybe you didn't intend this upload to be a NMU, in that case, please double-check that the most recent entry in the changelog is byte-for-byte identical to the maintainer or one of the uploaders. If this is a local package (not intended for Debian), you can suppress this warning by putting "local" in the version number or "local package" on the first line of the changelog entry. Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 5.11.2 (NMUs and debian/changelog) for details. Severity: warning Check: nmu

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. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.11 (Optional upstream source location: debian/watch) and the uscan(1) manual page for details. Severity: info 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. Severity: info Check: debian/rules/dh-sequencer
This package does not use a machine-readable debian/copyright file. This format makes it easier to review licenses and can be easily parsed by Lintian. Refer to https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ for details. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/copyright/dep5
This non-native package lacks a Homepage field. If the package has an upstream home page that contains useful information or resources for the end user, consider adding a Homepage control field to debian/control. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.23 (Homepage) for details. Severity: pedantic Check: fields/homepage
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. Refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details. Severity: pedantic Check: debhelper
The debian/control file is missing an explicit Rules-Requires-Root field. Traditionally, Debian packages have required root privileges for some debian/rules target requiring a split between build and binary targets. This makes the builds slower due to the increased amount of invocations as well as the overhead of fakeroot itself. Please specify (eg.) Rules-Requires-Root: no in the debian/control source stanza, but packagers should verify using diffoscope(1) that the binaries built with this field present are identical. Refer to /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/rootless-builds.txt.gz, Debian Policy Manual section 4.9.2 (debian/rules and Rules-Requires-Root), and Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.31 (Rules-Requires-Root) for details. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/control Renamed from: rules-requires-root-missing
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
