Bug#883870: warning: Negative repeat count does nothing

Fri Dec 8 17:21:13 UTC 2017

Package: libtext-quoted-perl
Version: 2.09-1

Hi,

rt shows warnings like these in the log:

Negative repeat count does nothing at /usr/share/perl5/Text/Quoted.pm line 244.

Upstream bug is: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=111986
- seems dead to me.

Attached patch silences the warning by ensuring the count is at least 
zero.

cheers,
Stefan
