# `malformed-override`

Lintian discovered an override entry with an invalid format. An override entry should have the format:

    [[<package>][ <archlist>][ <type>]:] <tag>[ <extra> ...]

where <package> is the package name, <archlist> is an architecture list, <type> specifies the package type (binary is the default), <tag> is the tag to override, and <extra> is any specific information for the particular tag to override.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
