You can change it to { ( and ) }; this will work with exactly the
same functionality (I think; I tested against zsh which executes functions
with ( and ) properly).

AFAIK it causes ther function to execute in a subshell (or at least variables
are all local etc.)

Why not change the ( and ) to { and } respectively?
At least this way, it will work with potato...
...and as far as I can tell it is a bit inconsistent anyway - some

This isn't meant to be a flame in any way, I am just curious...

dpkg-scanpackages actually calls dpkg-deb -I :)

Actually apt-move does use dpkg-scanpackages (and dpkg-scansources), but
it caches their results so they're never run twice on the same package.
This occurs when apt-move first moves the packages in, which is why you must
never move packages in by hand (at least not without doing an fsck later).

How about a bug report then? You did run apt-move fsck when you first
upgraded didn't you?

It's a bug in bash. You may work around it by setting ash as
your /bin/sh shell instead of bash.
My current problem with apt-move is that it wants to delete every
single deb file I have (instead of only those that have never
versions on hand). Also, it makes completely empty Packages.gz
files for me. Now that I have made Packages.gz file by hand, I'm
affraid to use `apt-move packages' and overwrite them to test
anything. :-(

Please check the BTS for apt-move, this is discussed externsively.
Apparently it's a (for me non-obvious) bug in bash.

I guess nothing. I had the same problem a few weeks ago and "solved" it by
editing the file manually.
I don´t know what went wrong in the first place, though. The syntax errors
were so obvious that it can´t possibly be typos.
