What about attaching the code of your test suite? I would have also expected some more analysis of failures because at first look I think you reported many non-problems and would rather concentrate on real problems. Do you really believe that the code that we're using daily everywhere can fail 141 times out of 731? > dpkg-dev.pl failed test 'foo- foo 0'/tests/foo with '1' > dpkg-dev.pl failed test 'foo- foo+ -1'/tests/foo with '1' We don't have "foo" packages do we ? However this looks like a real difference between dpkg --compare-versions and Dpkg::Version::vercmp(). > dpkg-dev.pl failed test '3.3-1.1 3.1-1 1 acl2'/tests/versions.lenny-sid with > '2' Both 1 and 2 are greater than 0 and that's the only thing that matters in version comparison. Please adjust your test suite accordingly (of course same goes for negative numbers) and post the updated results.
