this is likely due to a call setting the priority to 8600000600, which
has been there since ghc6_6.4-1 (13 Mar 2005!). Was there a recent
change in update-alternatives that disallows large priorities? Sounds
like this change in dpkg_1.16.4:
* Check all parsed integers for out of range errors; i.e. that no negative
values are allowed if not appropriate, and that no overflows occur.
Closes: #580038
And indeed, the diff at
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=2bf4b48#patch12
confirms that. CC’ing [email protected] for that; looks like the fix introduced a
regression.
(Not saying it is sane to use that number, but its there and its been
there for long, so I don’t think dpkg should break that so shortly
before the freeze.)
Greetings,
Joachim
