Package: dracut Version: 044+105-2 Severity: normal Hello Thomas! I'm at your BoF at Debconf, and grateful to you for answering all my random questions today.
I experienced a problem which I thought would be best reported as a Debian bug. Note that I am on a mixed jessie/sid system, so I am installing dracut from sid even though dpkg is version 1.7.27. I installed dracut-core from sid, and then I decided I liked it, so I then decided to install dracut. Then I saw this: Preparing to unpack .../dracut_044+105-2_all.deb ... dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: <version> <relation> <version> Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' ! -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dracut depends on: ii dracut-core 044+105-2 dracut recommends no packages.
