Lintian tag: executable-not-elf-or-script
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
This executable file is not an ELF format binary, and does not start with
the #! sequence that marks interpreted scripts. It might be a sh script
that fails to name /bin/sh as its shell, or it may be incorrectly marked
as executable. Sometimes upstream files developed on Windows are marked
unnecessarily as executable on other systems.
If you are using debhelper to build your package, running dh_fixperms will
often correct this problem for you.
Please refer to Scripts (Section 10.4) in the Debian Policy Manual for
details.
