Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.5.6
Severity: minor
Hi,
when rebuilding ghostscript from testing for our stable version (for
internal use), I got the message:
dpkg-genchanges: warning: the current version (8.71~dfsg2-3~freeze6.0) is
smaller than the previous one (8.71~dfsg2-3)
I was a bit confused, thinking that dpkg-genchanges was warning that
the package had become smaller ("so what", I thought). Then I realised
that the message meant that the version was _lower_.
Perhaps the wording could be modified to say "lower" and not "smaller"?
Or perhaps "earlier", to agree with the wording in the dpkg manpage
where --compare-versions is discussed?
Thanks,
Paul
