Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package dirmngr.
  Preparing to unpack .../48-dirmngr_2.1.16-3_i386.deb ...
  dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: dpkg: error: version '' has bad syntax: 
version string is empty
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-P10DjX/48-dirmngr_2.1.16-3_i386.deb (--unpack):
   subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
  dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: dpkg: error: version '' has bad syntax: 
version string is empty
  dpkg: error while cleaning up:
   subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1


cheers,

Andreas
