Package: smartmontools
Version: 6.3+svn4002-1
Severity: serious
On a system running unstable I did "apt-get install smartmontools"
and this is what happened:
Selecting previously unselected package smartmontools.
(Reading database ... 96709 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../smartmontools_6.3+svn4002-1_amd64.deb ...
dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: <version> <relation>
<version>
The preinst says this
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile \
/etc/init.d/smartd 6.1+svn3812-1~ smartmontools -- "$@"
which apparently makes dpkg to be called in this way:
dpkg --compare-versions -- le-nl 6.3+svn4002-1~
causing the error.
I don't know exact dpkg-maintscript-helper syntax but it seems this
should be easy to fix. Using "serious" here to prevent propagation to
testing.
Thanks.
