Package: dh-elpa Version: 2.0.2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
trying to build lbdb with version 0.49+foo fails when calling dh_elpa with the following message: dh_elpa Invalid version syntax: `0.49+foo' dh_elpa: emacs -batch -Q -l package --eval (add-to-list 'package-directory-list "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa") --eval (add-to-list 'package-directory-list "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src") -f package-initialize -l dh-elpa.el -f dhelpa-batch-install-directory debian/elpa-lbdb//usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src /build/lbdb-0.49+foo/debian/.debhelper/elpa/lbdb /build/lbdb-0.49+foo/debian/.debhelper/elpa 1552316645 returned exit code 255 make: *** [debian/rules:15: binary] Error 255 (see https://salsa.debian.org/roland/lbdb/-/jobs/455490 for another example). I can reproduce the same behavior with dh-elpa 1.16 on buster as well as with 2.0.2 on sid. Using the "normal" version number 0.49 doesn't trigger the issue but changing it to 0.49+foo or the like always triggers above failure. According to deb-version(7) and policy chapter 5.6.12 the upstream version of a package is allowed to contain a plus sign, so 0.49+foo is a valid version number. Greetings Roland
