Package: nis
Version: 3.17-31
Severity: normal
Since probably the fix for http://bugs.debian.org/497849 (Please
remove stop links from rc0 and rc6) in 3.17-18, there is a broken
version comparision in nis's postinst script:
root@snidget:~# dpkg-reconfigure -phigh nis
Stopping NIS services: ypbind ypserv ypppasswdd ypxfrd.

Starting NIS services: ypbind.
dpkg: version 'nis_3.17-18' has bad syntax: invalid character in version number
root@snidget:~#
Culprit is the following line in the postinst script:
96 if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "nis_3.17-18"; then
It should look like this:
96 if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "3.17-18"; then
