I: fwts: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/fwts.1.gz:98 N: N: This manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was N: intended. By default, "-" chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by N: groff, not as minus signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus N: signs (U+002D), this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot N: cut and paste options, nor search for them easily. The Debian groff N: package currently forces "-" to be interpreted as a minus sign due to N: the number of manual pages with this problem, but this is a N: Debian-specific modification and hopefully eventually can be removed. N: N: "-" must be escaped ("\-") to be interpreted as minus. If you really N: intend a hyphen (normally you don't), write it as "\(hy" to emphasise N: that fact. See groff(7) and especially groff_char(7) for details, and N: also the thread starting with N: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg01481.h N: tml N: N: If you use some tool that converts your documentation to groff format, N: this tag may indicate a bug in the tool. Some tools convert dashes of N: any kind to hyphens. The safe way of converting dashes is to convert N: them to "\-". N: N: Because this error can occur very often, Lintian shows only the first 10 N: occurrences for each man page and give the number of suppressed N: occurrences. If you want to see all warnings, run Lintian with the N: -d/--debug option. N: N: Refer to the groff_char(7) manual page for details.

Lintian has a list N: of common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary N: like a spelling checker does. N: N: If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help N: of gettext or a similar tool, please fix the error in the translations N: as well as the English text to avoid making the translations fuzzy. With N: gettext, for example, this means you should also fix the spelling N: mistake in the corresponding msgids in the *.po files. N: N: You can often find the word in the source code by running: N: N: grep -rw

I: libfwtsiasl1: extended-description-is-probably-too-short N: N: The extended description (the lines after the first line of the N: "Description:" field) is only one or two lines long. The extended N: description should provide a user with enough information to decide N: whether they want to install this package, what it contains, and how it N: compares to similar packages. One or two lines is normally not enough to N: do this.

N: N: Severity: minor, Certainty: possible N: I: libfwtsiasl1: no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/libfwtsiasl.so.1.0.0 N: N: Although the package includes a shared library, the package does not N: have a symbols control file.

I: libfwtsacpica1: extended-description-is-probably-too-short X: libfwtsacpica1: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/libfwtsacpica.so.1.0.0 N: N: The listed shared library calls the C library exit() or _exit() N: functions. N: N: In the case of an error, the library should instead return an N: appropriate error code to the calling program which can then determine N: how to handle the error, including performing any required clean-up. N: N: In most cases, removing the call should be discussed with upstream, N: particularly as it may produce an ABI change. N: N: Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible N: N: This tag is marked experimental, which means that the code that N: generates it is not as well-tested as the rest of Lintian and might N: still give surprising results. Feel free to ignore experimental tags N: that do not seem to make sense, though of course bug reports are always N: welcomed.
