Package: autoproject
Version: 0.17-1
Followup-For: Bug #154867
The reason for the failure is the non-zero exit code of expr. From the man
page of expr
<quote>
expr exits with:
0 if the expression is neither null nor 0; 1 if the expression is
null or 0; or 2 for invalid expressions.
</quote>
Patch is attached.
Regards,
Joachim
