Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.10 Severity: normal dpkg-statoverride contains three copies of this: s,/*$,, && print STDERR "stripping trailing /\n"; Problem is, /* matches "", and this will in fact happily substitute nothing for nothing, return 1, and print the message, when no slashes are involved at all: joey@dragon:~>perl -le '$_="foo"; print s,/*$,,' 1 joey@dragon:~>dpkg-statoverride --list foo stripping trailing / So every maintainer script that uses dpkg-statoverride prints out these useless messages. Fix is to make sure your pattern actually matches something: s,/+$,, && print STDERR "stripping trailing /\n"; -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux dragon 2.4.21 #1 Fri Jun 13 21:33:56 EDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii dselect 1.10.10 a user tool to manage Debian packa ii libc6 2.3.1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
