Package: nd Version: 0.8.2-2 Severity: minor Tags: patch NEWS is listed in debian/docs so dh_installdocs gzips and installs it - despite the fact it's currently 0 bytes big.
"zless" seems to get confused with such files and spouts garbage at stdin. So it'd be preferable to not install this file until it is useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages nd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libxml2 2.6.27.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime nd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Jon Dowland
Don't install the NEWS file (compressed or otherwise) -- at the moment, it is 0 bytes big.
