severity 311843 critical thanks Whether the problem originates from dpkg is irrelevant. Installation of this package makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break, which makes this bug release critical.
If the maintainer believes dpkg should not be using debsig-verify by default I suggest that he files another bug against that package. If he thinks resolving the bug against dpkg fixes this bug I suggest that he merges both reports. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
