Package: ia32-libs
Version: 20090808
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: Appendix G
Hi,
on my system I have installed a 3rd party package which adds a diversion like
this:
$ dpkg-divert --list /usr/bin/ldd
diversion of /usr/bin/ldd to /usr/bin/ldd.real by myutils-lddwrapper
When installing ia32-libs it fails like this:
===============================

ia32-libs

===============================
I tracked down the problem to postinst:26. The operator '<<' treats the in my
case
empty argument $2 as earlier than 1.5.2, hence the "cleanup code" gets executed
by
mistake. I suggest the said operator to be changed to 'lt-nl' which in turn
treats
the empty $2 as "later than 1.5.2" and everything's fine.
HTH, cheers,
Daniel
