Bug#1082760: lintian: stumbles over new $YAML::XS::VERSION: "v0.902.0" is not numeric

[Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.118.2
Severity: normal

In /usr/share/lintian/lib/Lintian/Check/Debian/Upstream/Metadata.pm,
lines 105-106, there is a test:

    return
      if $YAML::XS::VERSION < $HAS_LOAD_BLESSED;

Unfortunately, in libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.902.0+ds-1, we have
$YAML::XS::VERSION = "v0.902.0";
giving the following lintian runtime warning:

Warning in processable [any .dsc file]: Argument "v0.902.0" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at /usr/share/lintian/lib/Lintian/Check/Debian/Upstream/Metadata.pm line 106.

Best wishes,

   Julian
