Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 3.025
Severity: normal

Hi Dominique,

I get the following error with the attached control file.

    In config class 'Dpkg::Control::Binary', (location: binary:"r-cran-cftime" Description) element 'Description' (level normal) has a configuration model error:
    	Too many fix loops: check code used to fix value or the check

Surely there is a line that is too long anyway, but it would be great if
cme would fix it :)

Have a nice day,

Charles

Description: Using CF-Compliant Calendars with Climate Projection Data
 Support for all calendars as specified in the Climate
 and Forecast (CF) Metadata Conventions for climate and forecasting data.
 The CF Metadata Conventions is widely used for distributing files
 with climate observations or projections, including the Coupled Model
 Intercomparison Project (CMIP) data used by climate change scientists
 and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This package
 specifically allows the user to work with any of the CF-compliant calendars
 (many of which are not compliant with POSIXt). The CF time coordinate
 is formally defined in the CF Metadata Conventions document available at
 <https://cf-convention.github.io/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.13/cf-conventions.html#time-coordinate>.
