I installed youtube-dl on the Sid installation tonight

This is what happened:
Selecting previously unselected package libav-tools.
Preparing to unpack .../libav-tools_6%3a9.11-3+b2_i386.deb ...
dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: <version>
<relation> <version>
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or
'more' !
That's https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=742676. I
think the maintainer scripts are invoking dpkg-maintscript-helper not
quite correctly.
Is this a major problem? I ask because the installation went ahead
without aborting.
It's not a big deal apparently.
Cheers,
Sven
Yup, that's the one...it's been there since March 26tth..I guess
because it's not a big deal :)
