While tidying up the common.variables code in tetex-bin, I changed the code which computes the sarge backport version number. The key diff is effectively: - ($SARGEVERSION=$VERSION) =~ s/^(.*-)$rev([^\-]*)$/$1${sarge_rev}bpo1/; + ($SARGEVERSION=$VERSION) =~ s/^(.*-)$rev([^\-]*)$/$1${sarge_rev}${2}bpo1/; meaning that NMUs, eg -14.2, will become sarge version -13.2bpo1 instead of -13bpo1. This is the correct behaviour, I would suggest. Julian
