[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#942784: lazarus-src-2.0: fails to install: preinst: 7: [: missing ]; dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: lazarus-src-2.0
Version: 2.0.2+dfsg-5
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...):
