This should now be fixed, and fortunately only a few bugs were bitten by this. I've repaired them. There may still be a few broken corner cases in the case of packages that have used dpkg-gencontrol's -v switch to produce binary packages with a different version from their source package (which is where most of the really hairy corner cases in version tracking show up). Please report these if you run across them. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
