Description Nelson A. de Oliveira 2012-01-03 03:24:19 UTC 
At bug 6746 it's possible to see that by using "spamassassin --lint -D" it's still not possible to see where the real problem is present (or where to search for it).

spamassassin's manpage says that -D "Produce debugging output. If no areas are listed, all debugging information is printed." thus making us understand that we should get all the debug available by using a simple "-D" option.

If something else is necessary to pass to -D then the manpage needs some adjustment. Otherwise, it's seems necessary to have a more verbose option/output for debug.

Using bug 6746 as example, it should say that something was wrong in 30_text_pt_br.cf (with the line number and maybe column/keyword/option of the failed check, if possible).

Also, when using -D it gives a somehow redundant/cyclic message that says "warn: lint: 1 issues detected, please rerun with debug enabled for more information" but we are already running with debug enabled, right?

It at least applies to sa-update and spamassassin.

Thank you!

Config File showing locale specific lint issues

The attached cf file (which is resolved), will cause lint errors with the command:

LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8 spamassassin --lint

More information about the lint errors would be useful such as the rules file that has the error.

This is old and I can't get spamassassin --lint -D to produce a lint warning that spamassassin --lint doesn't show with file and line number
