Subject: debian-policy: Policy and dpkg disagree on debian revision tests. Package: debian-policy Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** Policy 5.6.12 states: The absence of a debian_revision compares earlier than the presence of one However, dpkg tests return: dpkg --compare-versions 1 eq 1-0 && echo equal equal This is similar to #186700 (but not the same, although feel free to merge them) The actual behaviour (including things like 1.2.3-0~0) is consistent with an empty debian_revision being set to 0, as with the epoch and I think policy should be updated to match.
