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' !
