commit 18d9373b27effd533d386fdf7bfde6e6b3782101
Author: Guillem Jover <guil...@debian.org>
Date: Sun Jun 10 23:17:40 2012 +0200
u-a: Only warn for now on out of range priorities on --install
There seems to be packages using priorities > INT_MAX, which although
bogus as they were previously overflowing the int used to store them,
that would cause installation failures when upgrading from squeeze.
Turn this into a warning for now and clamp the values, which will be
switched back to an error after wheezy, in dpkg 1.17.x.
Closes: #676874
