--- Begin Message ---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.
