It looks lke this is one of those problems that we can't really test for because dpkg-gencontrol fixes it behind our back. As more work has gone into making dpkg-gencontrol smarter, more of those have turned up. :) We'd have to check against the source package instead, but given that dpkg-gencontrol doesn't care and produces good results, I'm not sure that we care to check. I've added a comment in checks/description to note that this test never triggers with a current dpkg-dev. Thank you very much for the tests! I've applied your patch. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
