The following entry is the culprit:

Package: amsn
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 6908
Maintainer: Bruno Gonçalves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: i386
Version: 0_95B-1
Description: AMSN é um clone do MSN Messenger para Linux

The version string is indeed invalid according to the Debian Policy.

It seems that some Sun JVM packages have the same issues, so I'll
implement a workaround.  For such non-official packages, no
vulnerability information is available anyway.

Could you me send me a compressed copy of your /var/lib/dpkg/status
file?  It probably contains some funny version string.

Bug#344106: ValueError: invalid Debian version string

[Nelson A. de Oliveira]

Package: debsecan
Version: 0.2
Severity: normal

Hi!

While running debsecan, it's finishing with this error:

$ debsecan --suite sid
FAKE-0321447 xserver-common (low urgency)
(...)
FAKE-0024706 xfonts-scalable (low urgency)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/debsecan", line 753, in ?
rate_system(target, options, fetch_data(options), history)
  File "/usr/bin/debsecan", line 698, in rate_system
pkg_version = Version(contents)
  File "/usr/bin/debsecan", line 92, in __init__
self.__parsed = self.__parse(version)
  File "/usr/bin/debsecan", line 111, in __parse
raise ValueError, "invalid Debian version string"
ValueError: invalid Debian version string

This error happens using any of the suites as option (woody, sarge,
etch, sid).

Thank you
Nelson
