Oh, nice! Thank you for pointing that out! Got it :)

They are false positives because the long lines are strings with HTML tags, i.e.

   "<div id='buttons' class='aright buttons-list'><input type='button'
class='OK Button' value="+theUILang.ok+"
onclick='theDialogManager.hide(\"tegLoadTorrents\");theWebUI.tegLoadTorrents();return(false);'/><input
type='button' class='Cancel Button'
value='"+theUILang.Cancel+"'/></div>"

Now I continue to get the lintian error and then have a warning:

  rutorrent source: unused-override source-is-missing plugins/extsearch/init.js

😕 any idea why lintian will not use the override?

----- ACTUALLY, GOT IT ------
I left the above for future reference for anyone else confused, but I
had to copy the entire line:

  rutorrent source: source-is-missing plugins/extsearch/init.js line
length is 288 characters (>256)

Looks like lintian is very particular in this way.

Now I just have my questions from part 3 remaining 😊 I was actually
able to drop-in a excanvas and libphp-snoopy, so it's only
libjs-jquery that I cannot drop in version 3 without breaking the
entire system. I would really like to push forward with including
jquery v1.11.2 in the missing-sources if possible.

Thanks so much for your help so far.
