Package: dpkg Version: 1.9.19 Severity: minor Run update-alternatives (say --help) under perl -w. It shows 4 warnings, at least 3 of which appear to be bugs. (An overly-quick glance suggests that the linkname2 variable was deliberately renamed from linkname, even though it isn't used. Probably the fix here is just to remove the `linkname2=' string.)
Also, line 239 has an obvious copy-and-paste bug from 2 lines up. (I'd also suggest adding `-w' to line 1.) pjm. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux bowman 2.2.9 #5 SMP Mon May 17 14:42:42 EST 1999 i686 unknown Versions of the packages dpkg depends on: ii libc6 2.2.4-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a- Shared libraries for terminal handling ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-0.01100 The GNU stdc++ library
