Hi,
although this is only remotely related to this bug's issue - several
current packages of backtrack linux do not follow the version string
policy, too.. namely I get a LOT of noise on any dpkg invocation, be it
directly or via aptitude:
> dpkg-query: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 90662
> package 'android-sdk':
> error in Version string 'r20.0.3-bt0': version number does not start with
> digit
Well I know I am sinning against the debian g0ds of purity, but well..
with free software, the choice should be mine to install packages which
don't follow the policy. Right?
So I have a deliberate "force-bad-version" in my /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg -
but it doesn't shut up the warning, and frankly, I see no way to make it
shoosh..
> dpkg/lib/dpkg/parsehelp.c:262: return dpkg_put_warn(err, _("version number
> does not start with digit"));
Any suggestions how to turn that NOIZE off?
#Regards!Marcel
