Package: debsums Version: 2.0.52+nmu3 Tags: pending Control: found -1 2.0.52+deb7u1
NMUs as well as stable updates usually contain a "+" sign and some letters in their version number. "debsums --version" tries to parse the version number out of either the changelog or the output of dpkg-query. If the version number found that way contains anything else but numbers and dots, it seems to be considered bogus and is replaced with the empty string. Hence neither debsums in Wheezy (version "2.0.52+deb7u1") nor the one in Jessie (version "2.0.52+nmu3") show the actual version upon "debsums --version". Workaround: Use "dpkg-query -l debsums", "apt-cache policy debsums" or a similar command. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (909, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages debsums depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.24 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.24 ii libfile-fnmatch-perl 0.02-2+b1 ii perl 5.20.1-5 ii ucf 3.0030 debsums recommends no packages. debsums suggests no packages. -- debconf information: debsums/apt-autogen: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
