[I can't seem to resolve freeze.oslo.dnmi.mo, and anyway, this should
be of general interest]
Hi,
Actually, this maybe and old cleared bug resurfacing, the
following bug apparently was fixed around 1.4.0.5, but seems to be
present in 1.4.0.8 (at least, the patch quoted below does not seem to
be applied).
This is the same bug as #5659, which was closed, saying that
the patch provided by Topi Miettinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>had
been installed.I have re-opened bug 5659 since apparently in version
1.4.0.8, somehow Topi's patch disappeared, and we are getting
failures with dpkg-gencontrol again.
The fix is to apply the patch (which I'm reproducing
below)t.
