Just an aside: this isn't a reliable means of determining whether a string is a version or a release, as there's no requirement in policy that version numbers start with a digit (it's only a "should", not a "must"). Also, someone could name their local repository "present", or Puppet could introduce a new ensure value, and cause havoc all round. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
