Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.28 dpkg's version comparison is architecture-dependent (due to changes in the size of the C long type):
(i386)$ dpkg --compare-versions 4294967296:1 '>>' 4294967295:1 ; echo $? 1 (amd64)$ dpkg --compare-versions 4294967296:1 '>>' 4294967295:1 ; echo $? 0 The second result is the correct one. Apparently, checks for integer overflows are missing (because strtol should return an error in this case). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
