Package: debian-reference-common
Version: 2.46
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
dpkg update 1.16.0 included this change:
Do not allow versions starting with non-digit
when doing strict parsing, warn otherwise.
The example 'make-kpkg' invocation includes the
parameter '--revision=rev.01' which causes dpkg to
issue a warning after every operation that parses
the '/var/lib/dpkg/' 'available' and 'status' files,
i.e. the following from '/var/log/apt/term.log':
error in Version string 'rev.03': version number
does not start with digit
Attached is a patch to change the example revision
number to '1.0'. It might be worthwhile to add a note
to the text specifying the allowable values for revision,
but I'll leave that up to you.
