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
