[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: lintian
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers,

I tried to run lintian against the attached packaged and it exit with a 
non-zero status and the following warning messages:

Warning in group hello/1.0-1: Can't call method "is_dir" on an undefined 
value at /usr/share/lintian/bin/../lib/Lintian/Index.pm line 499.
warning: cannot run cruft check on package source:hello/1.0-1
skipping check of source:hello/1.0-1
Warning in group hello/1.0-1: Can't call method "is_dir" on an undefined 
value at /usr/share/lintian/bin/../lib/Lintian/Index.pm line 499.

Warning in group hello/1.0-1: Can't call method "is_dir" on an undefined 
value at /usr/share/lintian/bin/../lib/Lintian/Index.pm line 499.
warning: cannot run origtar check on package source:hello/1.0-1
skipping check of source:hello/1.0-1

I'm using the lastest version (2.100.0). This issue was not present in 
lintian 2.98.

Your bug will be fixed together with Bug#974820 in our upcoming
version by this commit:

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/740acd1c21cef754f329f45dd0bc3cc217908cf2

Sorry I did not work on it earlier. For some reason, your initial
report did not make it to my inbox. Lintian now produces the following
output (and no program errors):
