Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.22.1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Since 1.22 (does happen in 1.22.1, did not happen in 1.21.21), running "dpkg- shlibdeps --version" prints --- dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot read debian/control: No such file or directory --- instead of the version string (which can be obtained after a "mkdir debian; touch debian/control") --- Debian dpkg-shlibdeps version 1.22.1. This is free software; see the GNU General Public License version 2 or later for copying conditions. There is NO warranty. --- This has downstream effects in tools that attempt to check the version of dpkg- shlibdeps, as they can no longer work, e.g. "cpack -G DEB" (the .deb cmake generator) does not work anymore. Thanks a lot, -- Package-specific info: This system uses merged-usr-via-aliased-dirs, going behind dpkg's back, breaking its core assumptions. This can cause silent file overwrites and disappearances, and its general tools misbehavior.
