Severity: important
Tags: patch
As detailed in Bug 337215, the patch to dh_installinfo
(autoscript/postinst-info, actually) has introduced an even worse situation:
new packages being built with dh_installinfo are corrupting the dir file by
introducing a new section each time a package is installed. For instance, I
have 25 packages installed on my system which use the \Q....\E markers in their
--section strings. Manual intervention is required to rearrange the dir files.
Attached is a patch to revert the previous patch and escape the '+' characters
in the section regex. I believe this is the only special character in extended
regex which isn't disallowed in filenames.
While I was in there, I fixed another problem: the regex IMO should match only
the beginning of an existing section name string. Right now, it matches
anywhere, so an entry intended for the section "Programming" gets added to
"GNU programming tools". I prepended a '^' to fix that.
