Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.18.7
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-gencontrol
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I want to create a vanilla kernel .deb file. My kernel is configured to
have "-SCHBAX" appended to the version.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Ran 'make menuconfig' and 'make deb-pkg'
* What was the outcome of this action?
After compiling, when generating the packages, the process fails with
dpkg-gencontrol saying "character 'S' not allowed"
If I remove the 'S' so the suffix in the name becomes "-CHBAX" the
compilation/package generation succeeds.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I didn't expect dpkg-gencontrol to be sensible about certain characters
in the kernel name.
