The package name of a library package should usually reflect the soname of the included library. The package name can determined from the library file name with the following code snippet: $ objdump -p /path/to/libfoo-bar.so.1.2.3 | sed -n -e's/^[[:space:]]*SONAME[[:space:]]*//p' | \ sed -r -e's/([0-9])\.so\./\1-/; s/\.so(\.|$)//; y/_/-/; s/(.*)/\L&/' Visibility: warning Show-Always: no Check: libraries/shared/soname
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. Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening for details. Visibility: info Show-Always: no Check: binaries/hardening
[usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libart_lgpl_2.so.2.3.21]
Although the package includes a shared library, the package does not have a symbols control file. dpkg can use symbols files in order to generate more accurate library dependencies for applications, based on the symbols from the library that are actually used by the application. Please refer to the dpkg-gensymbols(1) manual page and https://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles for details. Visibility: info Show-Always: no Check: debian/shlibs
The listed shared library calls the C library exit() or _exit() functions. In the case of an error, the library should instead return an appropriate error code to the calling program which can then determine how to handle the error, including performing any required clean-up. In most cases, removing the call should be discussed with upstream, particularly as it may produce an ABI change. Visibility: info Show-Always: no Check: libraries/shared/exit Renamed from: shlib-calls-exit This tag is experimental.

Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have a manual page Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't support this. If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page. If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a Lintian override. Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual for details. Visibility: warning Show-Always: no Check: documentation/manual Renamed from: binary-without-manpage

The following file is an old style config file, used to retrieve information about installed libraries in the system. It is typically used to compile and link against one or more libraries. Using this kind of system to pass compile file is obsolete and will likely introduce bugs in a multi-arch system. Particularly, this kind of script could only belong to a package that is not Multi-Arch. You should consider to move to pkg-config file and warn your user to not use this script, and open a bug upstream. You should also consider to implement this file as a compatibility wrapper over pkg-config. After fixing every reverse depends of your package and use pkg-config reverse depends makefile, you should consider to put this script, as a temporary convenience of your users, under /usr/lib/$DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH/$PACKAGE/bin where $DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is the multi-arch triplet and $PACKAGE is the package name. You should also consider to add a NEWS.Debian entry. Please refer to the pkg-config(1) manual page and http://sources.debian.net/src/imagemagick/8:6.8.9.9-6/debian/NEWS/ for details.

The version string in a historical changelog entry was not parsed correctly. Usually, that means it does not conform to policy. It can also happen when a package changes from native to non-native (or the other way around). Historical entries are then in a nonconforming format. As a side note, Lintian cannot tell whether a package changed from naive to non-native, or the other way around. It can only say whether the historical changelog entries comply with the current nativeness of a package. Please refer to Version (Section 5.6.12) in the Debian Policy Manual 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 Upstream source location: debian/watch (Section 4.11) in the Debian Policy Manual 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.

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. Please refer to https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html for details. Visibility: info Show-Always: no Check: fields/standards-version
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.

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.

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
This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a debian/upstream/metadata file. The Upstream MEtadata GAthered with YAml (UMEGAYA) project is an effort to collect meta-information about upstream projects from any source package. This file is in YAML format and it is used in to feed the data in the UltimateDebianDatabase. For example, it can contains the way the authors want their software be cited in publications and some bibliographic references about the software. Please add a debian/upstream/metadata file. Please refer to https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep12/ and https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata for details.

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.)
