[pataquets]

Description
After installing pingme on Ubuntu Bionic via Debian package from the release page, now a dpkg message appears after each dpkginstallation:

dpkg: warning: analyzing /var/lib/dpkg/status near line 54890 package "pingme":
missing maintainer

Note: message is not meant to be literal, but a translation from my system's locale to English.
Additionally, removing package makes error message to go away.

To Reproduce

1. Install pingme from Debian package.
2. Perform any subsequent apt install (package upgrades, too).
3. Error is printed.

Expected behavior
No warning.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu Bionic

Thanks for pinging, @kha7iq.
Just installed latest (0.2.5) Debian package. Upgraded (apt install) and purged (apt purge) some packages.
Message went away 👍
Closing as fixed.
