[Sync Request] Please sync fslint 2.22-2 from Debian unstable

[Pádraig Brady]

Binary package hint: fslint

It would be great to update feisty and gutsy from version 2.16

[Michael Bienia (geser)]

The current Debian version fails to build in a gutsy pbuilder, so it can't be synced. It needs to be fixed first.

Please re-subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors if this bug is fixed in Debian or through a patch.

OK fslint-2.24-1 has been released to debian unstable.
This fixes the above packaging bug and also ubuntu bug #87246
among other things.

Hmm I realise I've missed the upstream version freeze,
so I'm not sure if it's possible to release for gutsy.
If you need reasons, the details of all changes between 2.16 & 2.24 are here:

cheers,
