Followup-For: Bug #847279 Control: found -1 0.901-4 Hi,
the fix does not work since it is wrongly versioned: if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le "0.52-2"; then That should rather be if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl "0.901-5~"; then (assuming you are going to fix this in 0.901-5). The -nl suffix causes the empty version (upon new installations) to not compare as less than the targeted version, so that code is not run on initial install (where it just produces some noise).
