Lintian fails over xipho-dbg with "objdump-info failed"

Hey Raphael,

Do you think this the same as http://bugs.debian.org/604047 ?

~Niels

Niels Thykier, thanks for looking into this. Didn't try Debian Experimental back then, so thought it was Ubuntu specific. The symptoms are exactly as you described in the debian bug report - I still get the output from lintian objdump & with directly using objdump except for exit code is "1" in xiphos-dbg as well.

Hi Dmitrijs

Thanks for testing it; this will be fixed with the next version of Lintian (expected to be 2.5.0)

~Niels

This bug is fixed in 2.5.0~rc1ubuntu1.

 lintian (2.5.0~rc1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

   * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
     - Don't warn about a symlinked changelog file in Ubuntu due to CDBS.
     - checks/init.d: fix LP: #496798 again; upstream only took part of our
       patch and the rest of the fix was dropped in the last merge; per
       maintainer's comments in Debian bug #569492, Ubuntu will need to
       carry this fix for the time being

 lintian (2.5.0~rc1) experimental; urgency=low

   The "welcome Niels Thykier!" release.

   * checks/*:
     + [NT] Use the new pre-sorted file {index,info} when iterating over
       files.
     + [NT] All checks now report files without any "./" or "/" prefix.
       This may break existing overrides. (Closes: #534940)
   * checks/binaries:
     + [RA] Exclude kfreebsd-kernel-di-{amd64,i386} from the
       embedded-zlib check since it's in the kernel. (Closes: #593397)
     + [RG] Add swipl to the list of known interpreters. (Closes: #591316)
     + [RG] Detect embedded copies of ftgl, t1lib, gl2ps, libgd2,
       ncurses, openssl (libcrypto), sqlite/3, libm, ltdl, curl, libmng,
       libmsn, libmikmod, libmysqlclient, and tinyxml.
     + [RG] Merge embedded-{zlib,lib{png,jpeg,openjpeg}} into
       embedded-library.
     + [RG] Find directories based on the file's type instead of file(1)'s
       unforgiving output. Thanks, Gabriele Giacone. (Closes: #597990)
   * checks/cruft{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Extended the diff-contains-substvars check to also catch files
       prefixed with a package name.
     + [NT] Corrected the description of diff-contains-$vcs-control-dir.
       It incorrectly assumed that -i worked for native packages.
       (Closes: #609153)
     + [NT] Moved the list of autotools packages into data/cruft/autotools.
     + [NT] Clarified that dpkg-source looks for <package>_<upstreamversion>
       and not <package>_<version> in the description of
       native-package-with-dash-version. Thanks to Daniel Thomas for the
       report. (Closes: #594254)
