unused-override
Your package specifies the named override but there were no tags that could have been silenced by it.
Maybe you fixed an underlying condition but forgot to remove the override. It is also possible that the Lintian maintainers fixed a false positive.
If the override is now unused, please remove it.
This tag is similar to mismatched-override
except there a
tag could have been silenced if the context had matched.
Sometimes, overrides end up not being used because a tag appears only on some architectures. In that case, overrides can be equipped with an architecture qualifier.
For more information please consult:
- Architecture specific overrides (Section 2.4.3) in the Lintian User's Manual
The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163
.
That is the most recent version we know about.
We use semantic versions.
The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the

You can find the detection logic for this version at commit 8ab6976. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check lintian.
