0.242+git20151019-1 is not <= 0.242+git20151019-1~ so that is definitely wrong. Maybe you meant <= 0.242+git20151019-1.1~ ? But if I were preparing an NMU I would be intending to use 0.242+git20151019-1.1 as the nmu version; and my draft packages would be called precisely 0.242+git20151019-1.1~ and don't want to be conflicted against. Hence 0.242+git20151019-1.1~ This seems like arcane lore really. Surely this stuff ought to be documented somewhere ? Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
