Sops: .deb package fails to install

[jgmoss]

.deb package fails to install with the following error:

dpkg: error processing archive /home/jgmoss/Downloads/sops_v3.5.0_amd64.deb (--install):
parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 2 package 'sops':
error in 'Version' field string 'v3.5.0': version number does not start with digit

[dgsardina]

Exactly the same issue. Version for dpkg packages must start by digit as seen in deb-version man pages:

The upstream-version may contain only alphanumerics (“A-Za-
z0-9”) and the characters . + - : ~ (full stop, plus, hyphen,
colon, tilde) and should start with a digit.

Same issue over here with

sudo apt install ./sops_v3.5.0_amd64.deb

on both ubuntu 18.04 and ubuntu 19.04

Using release 3.4 works just fine

Naming was changed from 3.4.0 to v3.5.0.
Destroyed our Docker builds too.

Working on a fix now.

Not quite fixed. Will close when the .deb has been fixed.

The .deb attached to https://github.com/mozilla/sops/releases/tag/v3.5.0 should now work as expected.
