[stable-ppa] nginx "Breaks:" version missing trailing "~precise0"

[Darrell Bishop]

the stable nginx packages (I tested the precise packaging, specifically) here: https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable/+packages

If I try to install "nginx" and "nginx-full", the "Breaks:" erroneously prevents it:

sudo apt-get install nginx=1.4.5-1~precise0 nginx-full=1.4.5-1~precise0
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nginx-full : Breaks: nginx (< 1.4.5-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The fact that 1.4.5-1~precise0 unfortunately compares as < 1.4.5-1 is shown by:
$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.4.5-1~precise0 '<' 1.4.5-1; echo $?
0

So I guess the Ubuntu-packaged nginx control file's Breaks: needs to include the tilde and precise0 :-/.

I can confirm being currently affected by this bug.

I've got a possible fix uploaded to my staging PPA, but the PPA uploaders are a little lagged, so I can't test at this time.

As soon as I get a chance I'll test this.

I confirmed my fix works. I have uploaded the builds to the staging PPA and I am waiting for them to complete before copying this over to the stable PPA. Once they've been copied over it should be only about half an hour before they're available for use.

The Stable PPA has been updated with the updated packages. This issue should now be resolved.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick turnaround time!

Confirmed: new packaging works for me!
