[publican-list] odd publican package error

[Douglas Silas]

Hi,

Trying to package the latest RHEL5 DG (after bumping the pubsnumber) 
on brew with this command:

publican package --brew --lang=es-ES

...or seemingly any other non-en-US language, fails with the 
following excised error message in build.log:

<SNIP>

CLASSPATH=:/usr/share/java/ant/ant-trax-1.7.0.jar:/usr/share/java/xmlgraphics-commons.jar:/usr/share/java/batik-all.jar:/usr/share/java/xml-commons-apis.jar:/usr/share/java/xml-commons-apis-ext.jar

The relevant error message there seems to be:

Invalid format for release. Value (ARRAY(0xd12e2f0)) does not 
conform to constraint ([^0-9.]) at /usr/bin/publican line 514

According to Jarek, this error message means that publican is trying 
to run the regex [^0-9.] on an array itself, not one of its members 
(such as a string). Additionally, the line number the error message 
provides is incorrect.

Packaging on brew succeeds as expected when lang=en-US.

Any ideas about what might be happening here?

Thanks,
