Bug Description
[Impact]
There are a ton of crash reports in the Error Tracker from dpkg about dpkg-split which cause dpkg to abort. It'd be good to get this resolved in Ubuntu 16.04.
[Test Case]
Verify that the new version of dpkg does not appear in the Error Tracker.
One might also try the following:
1) dpkg -i /tmp/cats
2) Observe dpkg-split aborting e.g.
dpkg-split: error: error reading /tmp/cats: Is a directory
dpkg:..
Aborted (core dumped)
With the version of the package in -proposed that should not happen.
[Regression Potential]
Little as we are just changing the error handling mechanism.
The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding dpkg. This problem was most recently seen with version 1.18.4ubuntu1.1, the problem page at https:/
