I was testing a new version of spyder and received the following
error message from lintian:

E: spyder source: duplicate-globbing-patterns spyder/plugins/editor/utils/kill_ring.py (lines $lines) [debian/copyright]

Presumably the $lines variable should have been expanded?

Best wishes,

   Julian

Hi,

Thanks! We already caught it in an unreleased commit. [1]

Unfortunately, we cannot adopt the relevant Perl::Critic policy just
yet, due to unresolved issues elsewhere.

Thanks for helping to make Lintian better!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
