Bug#665421: pcre3: Invalid version string 8.30..-3 makes impossible to download the packages with apt
Hallo, * Dmitrijs Ledkovs [Sat, Mar 24 2012, 01:09:43AM]: However, you're not the only person to have had problems with it and in the latest release I have reluctantlly used an epoch instead. Well i have now correctly merged this bug with a bug filed against apt-cacher-ng when ..-2 was uploaded. Thank you for finding bug in apt-cacher-ng =) +1. I will fix it in apt-cacher-ng but not yet. And two dots appended in the version number might be legal but it's a way too weird. I am sure there are more tools having problems with that.

Bug#665421: pcre3: Invalid version string 8.30..-3 makes impossible to download the packages with apt
Source: pcre3 Version: 8.30..-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Upon apt-get install, it fails with: Err http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid/main libpcre3 amd64 8.30..-3 403 Forbidden file type or location: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pcre3/libpcre3_8.30..-3_amd64.deb Please do not use two consecutive dots in the package name? I'm confused how that got published / allowed by debian archive. =/ Just one more bug on top of the recent bugs. -- With regards, Dmitrijs Ledkovs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

There's nothing wrong with two consecutive dots. The specification says only that a version number consists of digits separated by non-digits. There is nothing special about dots, and it is very common to have more than one consecutive non-digit. There was delay in my merge command =) we resolved on IRC that in actual fact '..' is ok, and that mirror/apt-proxy that I was using was borked, thinking it's a security risk. Sorry for troubling you. However, you're not the only person to have had problems with it and in the latest release I have reluctantlly used an epoch instead.
