[Bug 934112] Re: dpkg aborts

[Michal Suchanek]

I suspect that once packges get backported to oneiric whatever trigggers
the issue might get backported as well or some other packages might
trigger it. As it is fixed in newer version I also suspect it was
already diagnosed and fixed, hence re-diagnosing it is redudndant.

Title:
  dpkg aborts

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Oneiric dpkg aborts.

  Since Precise dpkg does not I guess the simplest fix is to just import
  the new version
