</div>The above naming scheme is what I tried first. I have changed the<br>
manpage names to what you suggest and I still get the "no-manpage"<br>
lintian error for coherence and applet-coherence but yet the manpages<br>
are installed to the correct location. Should I use the override file?<br>
hmmm I wonder if this could be a possible bug in lintian?<br>
<br>
I only get this error when running lintian on the .deb. When I run<br>
lintian on the source package (dsc, changes) I do not get this error.<br>
