Bug#803253: mosh: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments:

Package: mosh Version: 1.2.5-1+b1 I get this when I install mosh: Preparing to unpack .../mosh_1.2.5-1+b1_i386.deb ... dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly

My suspicion is that this error is coming from some package that mosh depends on, instead of from mosh itself. Mosh doesn't try to run dpkg itself. Do you see this error message if you remove the mosh package (dpkg --purge mosh) and then re-install mosh only? On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 5:30 AM,
