problem installing a package

[Toni Mueller <toni@debian.org>]

Hi,

while packaging a new version of funkload and trying to convert the
packaging to the new 3.0 format, I have now arrived at a package that
should work. At least, superficially inspecting the package's contents
does not reveal any errors, as does running lintian (the package is
almost lintian-clean). But trying to actually install the package on a
machine running Sid, current as of today, fails:

# dpkg -i funkload_1.13.0-1_all.deb
Selecting previously deselected package funkload.
(Reading database ... 53462 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking funkload (from funkload_1.13.0-1_all.deb) ...

    v1=[int(i) for i in ver1.split('.')]
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
dpkg: error processing funkload (--install):

I didn't touch the package maintenance scripts (postinst etc)...


Any help is MUCH appreciated!
