Package: dpkg
Version: 1.18.4
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Consider the following error message:
$ dpkg-deb -z foo
dpkg-deb: error: invalid integer for --(null): 'foo'
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages.
The error message shouldn't be saying "--(null)", first of all because there's
no such option, and second of all because passing a NULL pointer to the %s
formatter of printf(3) is undefined behaviour.
Cheers,
Daniel
