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).

Regards,
Steve
