Package: apt-move
Version: 4.2.24-1.1
Hi,
openoffice.org packages use (in violation of chapter 5.6.12 of Debian
policy, see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version)
version number 2.0.4~rc3-1 and 2.0.4-1, hoping that 2.0.4~rc3 is below
2.0.4 - which surprisingly is for apt and dpkg, but not for apt-move.
Perhaps this should be reported as openoffice's policy violation, but
as damage was already done it would be nice if apt-move's
/usr/share/apt-move/cmpversion.awk could be modified so it orders
2.0.4~rc3 below 2.0.4. Currently apt-move just downloads openoffice
packages & tarballs (of version 2.0.4) and then throws them away because
repository already contains "newer" (2.0.4~rc3) version.
I've used hack below to teach apt-move how to order openoffice, but it
most probably fails for lot of other corner cases. Perhaps spawning
dpkg --compare-versions is right thing to do. Hack below is definitely
not OK for world wide use, it may eat your repository...
Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec
