Bug#805406: libatlas3-base: Syntax error in preinst maintainer script

[Wolfgang Karall-Ahlborn]

Package: libatlas3-base
Version: 3.10.2-8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

today while upgrading a sid system I noticed the following:

.
.
Preparing to unpack .../libatlas3-base_3.10.2-8_i386.deb ...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 7: [: argument expected
.
.

Looking at the preinst in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libatlas3-base.preinst this
looks wrong

if [ $1 = "upgrade" -a `dpkg --compare-versions "$2" ge 3.8.4-4~exp1` -a `dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 3.10.1-1` ]

which probably is meant to be:

if [ "$1" = "upgrade" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" ge 3.8.4-4~exp1 && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 3.10.1-1

Cheers
Wolfgang
