[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#883008: [zfs-linux] Invalid dependency on non-existent spl-dkms

[Antonio Russo]

Package: zfs-linux
Version: 0.7.3-2
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

The recently uploaded version depends on a version of spl that does not exist, making it
unusable, and uninstallable. The attached patch, (a very slight modification of that proposed in
881013, which had a >= instead of >>) addresses this (it is based off of the 0.7.3-1 source, not the -2 version).

Notice critically the presence of a '>>${source:Upstream-Version}.' with a period (.) at the end.
This logic allows for a '-' extension, since it compares less than the '.', rather than requiring
the exact version ${source:Upstream-Version}, which will never be in the archives.
