Bug#400403: invalid doc-base file
Package: xterm
Version: 222-2
Severity: serious
The upgrade of xterm fails with the following error message:
Setting up xterm (222-2) ...
error in control file: `Format' value not specified at /usr/sbin/install-docs line 699, </usr/share/doc-base/xterm-faq> line 22.
dpkg: error processing xterm (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9
Errors were encountered while processing:
xterm
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
As this makes the package uninstallable I'm filing the bug with severity serious.
Cheers,
Michael
