Debian lintian reports malformed-prompt-in-templates
No matter how long I looked at my templates I could not figure out what lintian was complaining about with malformed-prompt-in-templates.
Until I looked at the code and saw the remark at the bottom: The use of colons is recommended
Tag: malformed-prompt-in-templates
Type: warning
Info: The short description of a select, multiselect, string and password
debconf template is a prompt and not a title. Avoid question style
prompts ("IP Address?") in favour of "opened" prompts ("IP address:").
The use of colons is recommended.After adding colons to the short description of the strings in the template, lintian was happy and all was well.
Open Source is great.
