This is the same issue as #423140 (and #423544, #423451 and a similar
issue in #423193) due to the addition of use {strict,warnings} in
1.14.0.
I haven't merged this with the existing reports, as they're all filed at
normal severity.

Adam

Ah, sorry. I did not really check reports with lower prio as IMO this
issue is obviously serious (as in unsuitable for release) even if it
does not cause any actual problems.

Note that I was upgrading from a previously good version of dpkg to the latest fixed version. As Adam already said this has been filed several times already. And this is not serious, the code is the same, but not it's just producing warnings. It will be fixed on next upload. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
