Subject: false \' alert in '\\'

Date: Tue, 05 Jul 2022 20:54:50 +0200

Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.2
Severity: normal

Hi,

this line:

(space), '@' and '\\' (backslash) (e.g. '\\ ' or '\\@'). To literally match a '\fB\\\fR'

in a man page triggers

I: aide: acute-accent-in-manual-page [usr/share/man/man5/aide.conf.5.gz:16]

I think this is caused by the '\\', and I think that's a false alert.

Greetings
Marc

Control: tag -1 pending

Hello,

Bug #1014421 in lintian reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/ba3c872463f2bfedbc180b1659a8daac3195085c

------------------------------------------------------------------------
acute-accent-in-manual-page: Explain why '\\' is indeed a FP but still wrong

This is a no-op. Just extend the tag description with a paragraph
about this very specific piece of wrong groff code which is also
triggering this tag despite being no acute accent.

Closes: #966803, #1014421

Thanks: Thorsten Glaser

Also fix some grammar and formatting.
