  Package: lintian
  Version: 2.5.21
  Severity: serious

  Hi,

  Looks like changes in file(1) broke our test suite.  There is a
  partial fix for it in 87e5ebd, but some of the regex's in
  data/cruft/warn-file-type probably also need updating.

  Besides that, we got some tests failing on "funny filenames" (e.g.
  ones with backslash) and finally S-V 3.9.3 has become ancient...
