Lintian tag: carriage-return-line-feed
Type: error
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The given control file uses CRLF as line terminator instead of the
traditional UNIX LF terminator. Since some tools were only designed with
the UNIX end-of-line terminators in mind, it is possible that they
misbehave or lead to unexpected results.
Running the following command against the given file removes any CR
character in the file:
sed -i 's/\r//g' path/to/file
Visibility: error
Show-Always: no
Check: debian/line-separators
Renamed from: control-file-with-CRLF-EOLs
