Package: module-assistant
Version: 0.10.7
Severity: important

Really odd things happen if the environment variable VERSION is defined
or set before calling module-assistant.

Given an invocation as in
| module-assistant build <module>--non-inter --kernel-dir /home/linux \
|     --userdir . --text-mode -f
(tested for <madwifi> and <rt2500> and a third off-Debian package)

a) "export VERSION=foobar" before build
builds the module but fails with the last lines:

| dh_gencontrol -- -vfoobar
| dh_md5sums
| dh_builddeb --destdir=/tmp
| dpkg-deb - error: (upstream) version (`foobar') doesn't contain any digits

b) "export VERSION=" before build
fails a bit earlier for an empty VERSION:

| dh_gencontrol -- -v
| dpkg-gencontrol: unknown option `-v'
| 
| Usage: dpkg-gencontrol [<option> ...]
(...)


The reason for this is at about line 145 in
/usr/share/modass/include/generic.make which assumes any present value
of VERSION is valid which might not be the case if the value is taken
from the environment.

Solution: Please strip VERSION from the environment before doing any
further calls, for example by doing:


--- /usr/bin/module-assistant.OLD       2006-10-14 00:08:51.000000000 +0000

   }
 }

+delete $ENV{'VERSION'};
 chomp($rows=`tput lines`);
 chomp($columns=`tput cols`);
 $rows=25 if !$rows;
