Hi ruediger

Already using couple of years your amazing OCR tool. I am setting up my new laptop right now and noticed that the compiled deb package is broken and refuses to be installed via dpkg. Info to reproduce:

OS: debian jessie/stable

configure: ok, no issues make: ok, no issues make package: built package 'vobsub2srt-unknown-dirty-Linux.deb' refuses to be installed via dpkg with following output:

dpkg -i vobsub2srt-unknown-dirty-Linux.deb

dpkg: error processing archive vobsub2srt-unknown-dirty-Linux.deb (--install): parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 2 package 'vobsub2srt': error in 'Version' field string 'unknown-dirty': version number does not start with digit

Could you please fix this and if possible upload a new release source code? It fails with release source code VobSub2SRT-1.0pre7 and it also fails with todays source code.

Thanks in advance, and your work is highly appreciated!

I'm in the process of moving VobSub2SRT to autotools to make building Debian packages easier. My plan was to do a 1.0 release and then switch over. But I currently have little time. If you want to try the autotools version see the autotools branch and you should be able to build a Debian package from that.
