Hi,

To check unidic-mecab_2.3.0+dfsg-6.dsc, lintian requires a lot of memory
(at least around 30 GB). This makes it hard to check using the
UDD archive-wide runner, as it runs for over one day (probably due to
swapping).

There might be something to optimize here.

Hi Lucas,

This bug was filed a while ago. Is the memory limits in sensible ranges now?

I don't have the resources (30GB RAM) and can't run this. If this is still a problem,
would you consider to run NYTProf [1] and provide me an output?

[1] https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel::NYTProf and something like: perl -d:NYTProf ./bin/lintian <deb/changes file> for lintian

Best,
Nilesh
