[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#827847: gcin: fails to install: dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: <version> <relation> <version>

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gcin
Version: 2.8.4+dfsg1-4
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package gcin.

  Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
  Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
  Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
  Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
  Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
  
  Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' !
  dpkg: error processing package gcin (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   gcin


cheers,
