Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.14.9 Severity: normal Tags: d-i During a build of debian-installer-utils, I got the following warnings: dh_gencontrol -i dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field Installer-Menu-Item dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field Installer-Menu-Item dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field Installer-Menu-Item
However, debian-installer-utils does not contain _any_ deb packages, only udebs. So the warning is clearly incorrect. The cause may be that the header saying they are a udeb is in the control file _after_ the header listing the menu item. The code should probably allow for that. Example of the control fields for one of the udebs: Package: di-utils-shell Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends}, di-utils (>= 1.18) XB-Installer-Menu-Item: 95000 Description: Execute a shell XC-Package-Type: udeb -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-rc3 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20071027-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpio 2.9-6 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii dpkg 1.14.9 package maintenance system for Deb ii make 3.81-3 The GNU version of the "make" util ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl [perl5] 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.8.8-12 Core Perl modules Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.3-7 high-quality block-sorting file co ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.2.1-6 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.1 [c-compiler] 4.1.2-17 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.2 [c-compiler] 4.2.2-3 The GNU C compiler -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
