dcmd fails in a very obscure way if somebody accidentally capitalises the Priority field in debian/control. Attached is a manually-constructed example, which produces the following output: $ dcmd man-db_2.5.6-5_i386.changes [: 252: doc: unexpected operator [: 252: doc: unexpected operator [: 252: doc: unexpected operator [: 252: doc: unexpected operator [: 252: doc: unexpected operator [: 252: doc: unexpected operator [: 252: doc: unexpected operator [: 252: doc: unexpected operator [: 252: doc: unexpected operator [: 252: doc: unexpected operator doc Important man-db_2.5.6-5.dsc man-db_2.5.6-5.diff.gz man-db_2.5.6-5_i386.deb man-db_2.5.6-5_i386.changes I imagine this is due to a strict regex. I don't particularly mind whether it fails or not - the input is technically invalid, after all - but it would be nice if it failed in a clearer way. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [[email protected]]
