Lintian Errors

[jethornton]

Opening the latest linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.0~pre0.6424.gf826bc699_amd64.deb and there are a bunch of lintian errors.

W: linuxcnc-uspace: executable-not-elf-or-script usr/lib/tcltk/linuxcnc/bin/cbutton.tcl

For this i wonder why it is detected as an executable. It doesn't have the executable file attribute. Is this only because it is located in bin/?

W: linuxcnc-uspace: groff-message usr/share/man/man9/toggle.9.gz 17: can't open '../man/images/toggle.ps': No such file or directory

For this and following three: The ps images are only needed for the HTMLs and PDFs during the build process, so not needed here. To copy it only to suppress the warnings doesn't really make sense, right?

I admit to be a bit surprised about those lintian errors. Anyway, many thanks for the pointer, much appreciated. We should get those fixed with the next upload, at least the spelling errors :)

If debian/update-dch-from-git is used to generate debian/changelog, fixing the typos might be hard, as it generate it from the git history...
