Package: postgresql-common
Version: 113
Severity: normal

Hi,

when installing myspell dictionaries, postgresql-common gets triggered
to rebuild the postgres dictionaries. This makes dpkg
--compare-versions print a warning about a bad version.

With set -ex ; echo "$@" in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-common.config:

$ LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/myspell-de-de_20091006-4.2_all.deb 
(Reading database ... 194663 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace myspell-de-de 20091006-4.2 (using .../myspell-de-de_20091006-4.2_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement myspell-de-de ...
Setting up myspell-de-de (20091006-4.2) ...
Processing triggers for postgresql-common ...
+ echo configure /usr/share/myspell/dicts
+ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
++ '[' '!' 1 ']'
++ '[' -z '' ']'
++ exec
++ '[' '' ']'
++ exec
++ DEBCONF_REDIR=1
++ export DEBCONF_REDIR
+ '[' -d /usr/lib/postgresql ']'
+ '[' '!' -e /usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions ']'
+ dpkg --compare-versions /usr/share/myspell/dicts lt-nl 71
dpkg: version '/usr/share/myspell/dicts' has bad syntax: invalid character in version number

The bad code is:

# at some points we obsolete major versions within unstable; force the
# obsoletion notifications when upgrading over those
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 71; then
    db_fset postgresql-common/obsolete-major seen false
fi

I'm not sure how one is supposed to test version numbers in the config
script, but at least that code shouldn't run when triggered.

Hi,

As I've been hacking on cdebconf lately, it turns out that it doesn't
call at all the .config script yet. So, this bugs is not relevant, and
I'm closing it.

I have a patch in progress to implement the missing feature, which takes
this potential issue into account.
