Package: libcupt-perl Version: 0.2.3 Severity: minor Hi Eugene,
I have debtorrent version "svn412+svg4" installed. While this version number is invalid (hence "minor" severity), I'm probably not the only admin to have such a locally-created package. Apt and Aptitude work with it, I think any Apt replacement needs to be able to too. In Cupt this is handled gracefully but fatally, at /usr/share/perl5/Cupt/System/State.pm line 122. st...@tsunami:~$ cupt show cupt E: bad version 'svn412+svg4' E: error parsing system status file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' E: error while creating package cache (Treating it as a fatal error is currently correct to guard the rest of the code. Changing the "mydie" to a "mywarn" causes cupt to crash for many actions, as later use of the version_string_regex fails).
