Package: devscripts
Version: 2.26.7~bpo13+1
Severity: normal
if a debian/watch file contains parentheses for grouping in the
regex, uscan misinterpretes these parentheses for additional matches
for the upstream version number which results in wrong $newversion
value.
An example can be found in the cfengine3 package where the following
pattern should select only the minor versions which are devisible by
three:
(\d+\.([0369]|[147][0369]*([147][0369]*[258][0369]*)*([147][0369]*[147]|[258])|[258][0369]*([258][0369]*[147][0369]*)*([258][0369]*[258]|[147]))+\.\d+)
uscan outputs the following version:
$newversion = 3.27.1.27....7
instead of
$newversion = 3.27.1
