[Comment 1 Petri Lehtinen 2008-02-28 14:38:30 UTC]

I get the same error. Could this problem be related to gcc 4.2?

[Comment 2 Petri Lehtinen 2008-02-28 17:32:00 UTC]

Yep. At least for me it compiles fine with gcc 4.1.2.

[Comment 3 Ulrich Müller 2008-07-26 16:27:10 UTC]

Looks like the problem is fixed in 3.8.A. (Yes, the version is really called like this and is _newer_ than 3.8.28.)

[Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2008-11-03 20:02:44 UTC]

mine.

[Comment 5 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2008-11-03 22:14:38 UTC]

fixed.

[Comment 6 Ulrich Müller 2008-11-05 11:34:02 UTC]

Here is some clarification about the 3.8.A version (posting it here with Craig's permission):

Hello Ulrich,
  I'm the Debian maintainer for lprng.  I also assist the upstream guys
of the sourceforge lprng.

It's a rather interesting question, I don't think there is a simple
answer for it.  As you probably know, having a responsive upstream
makes the job of the package mainatainer so much easier.  

Quite a few people saw that the bugs coming in and no word from Patrick.
I tried emailling him a few times and heard nothing.  Reluctantly a
group of people then forked the project to maintain it.  About the same
time Patrick released a new version of lprng.

I've kept with the sourceforge-hosted version mainly because I hear
from people maitaining it and any bugs I come across are fixed or at
least looked at.  That's really all I am after.

It's a real messy situation, but not unique.  procps has a similiar
situation.

I'm not too sure. The trick is to make them different. Don't you have
the equivalent features like epoch that Debian has?  I'm surprised
you've not hit this problem previously as there are far much more eviler
version strings out there.
