# `unused-override`

Your package specifies the named override but there were no tags that could have been silenced by it.

Maybe you fixed an underlying condition but forgot to remove the override. It is also possible that the Lintian maintainers fixed a false positive.

If the override is now unused, please remove it.

This tag is similar to `mismatched-override` except there a tag could have been silenced if the context had matched.

Sometimes, overrides end up not being used because a tag appears only on some architectures. In that case, overrides can be equipped with an architecture qualifier.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
