Package: libmail-sendmail-perl
Version: 0.79.16-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
The uversionmangle syntax added in the latest (fsvo latest :-) upload of
libmail-sendmail-perl is slightly incorrect, which means the mangling
isn't actually being applied.
The watch file contains this
	opts=uversionmangle="s/_/./"
whereas it should contain
	opts="uversionmangle=s/_/./" \
or
	opts=uversionmangle=s/_/./ \
i.e. if you're going to use quotes, then they belong around the whole
option string. In this case, however, they're not required as there
aren't any spaces in the options.
See #515209 for a bug report against uscan which lead to my noticing
this.
Regards,
Adam
