Bug#677878: devscripts: bts clone doesn't recognize -1 as negative number

[Olivier Berger]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.11.8
Severity: normal

Hi.

I'm trying :
$ bts clone 668547 -1, retitle -1 "wifi disconnects too often", submitter -1 whoever at example.com
and gets the following response :
bts clone: new IDs must be negative numbers

Uh... -1 isn't recognized as negative number, it seems.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
