[Bug 2130122] [NEW] Merge lintian from Debian Unstable for resolute

 

Public bug reported:

Scheduled-For: ubuntu-25.11
Ubuntu: 2.126.0ubuntu1
Debian Unstable: 2.127.0

A new release of lintian is available for merging from Debian Unstable.

If it turns out this needs a sync rather than a merge, please change the
tagging from ['dcr-merge'] to ['dcr-sync'], and (optionally) update the
title as desired.

If this merge pulls in a new upstream version, also consider adding an
entry to the resolute Release Notes:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/resolute-raccoon-release-notes/

### New Debian Changes ###

lintian (2.127.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Louis-Philippe Véronneau ]
  * adjust phrasing in the newly documented debug entries.
  * Add information on the Origin field being parsed in the
    patch-not-forwarded-upstream tag. (Closes: #1065870)
  * d/control: remove redundant Rules-Requires-Root field.

  [ Rafael Laboissière ]
  * Correctly parse the paragraphs in watch file with format v5.
    (Closes: #1115463)

  [ Emanuele Rocca ]
  * hardening-no-fortify-functions: exclude Rust code.
  * Suggest solution for tests without purpose.

  [ Alexandre Detiste ]
  * add python3-tz to the list of obsolete-packages.

  [ Nilesh Patra ]
  * Expand @builddeps@ and @recommends@ field if it specified in Test Depends.
    (Closes: #1017916, #1024610)
  * Add a check in existing check to smoket-test @builddeps@ and @recommends@
    are expanded.
  * Display the package against which (build-,)depends-obsolete-bootstrap is
    issued. Adjust tests accordingly. (Closes: #1065177)

  [ Dima Kogan ]
  * Document --debug parameter.
  * Improved documentation for lintian-override files. (Closes: #1077709)

  [ Marc Leeman ]
  * recursive-privilege-change: do not trigger with -maxdepth 1.

  [ Florent 'Skia' Jacquet ]
  * tests: fix 'binaries-misplaced' pkg if '/bin/true' is a symlink.
  * Add 'Resolute Raccoon' in the list of known Ubuntu series.

### Old Ubuntu Delta ###

lintian (2.126.0ubuntu1) resolute; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2127772). Remaining changes:
    - Fix building udebs, now that in Ubuntu noudebs is implied profile
      (LP #1918120).
    - Add zst as allowed compression for .deb & .udeb although we don't
      actually ship udeb packages that support zst (LP #1923845).
    - Add AC_INIT in
      macro-not-cross-compilation-safe/build-spec/orig/src/configure.ac
      (LP #1950989).
    - Add -fPIC ld flags to
      checks/binaries/prerequisites/numpy/binaries-missing-depends-on-numpy-abi
    - macro-not-cross-compilation-safe is expecting line one, we added AC_INIT
      so it should now match line three.
    - Ubuntu enables LTO by default, so without-fat-lto-objects is expected to
      fail.
    - d/control: Fix wrong dependency plzip to lzip
  * New changes:
    - Fix tests when /bin/true is a symlink (uutils) (LP: #2124969)
    - Add 'resolute' to known distro series (LP: #2127769)
