Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.10.15 Severity: critical Tags: sid Justification: breaks unrelated software
I am slapping an RC bug on this just so that this issue will be considered before 1.10.15 is allowed to slide in to sarge. Version 1.10.10 built a thinkpad-modules-the.kern.ver package fine. Version 1.10.15 aborts with the following error message: ======================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22$ make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeroot modules-ima ge for module in /usr/src/modules/thinkpad ; do \ [snip snip] dh_compress dh_fixperms dh_installdeb dh_gencontrol dpkg-gencontrol: error: source paragraph in control info file is missing Source line dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 6400 make[2]: *** [binary-modules] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/thinkpad' make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/thinkpad' Module /usr/src/modules/thinkpad failed. ======================================================== Now, I am quite prepared to change thinkpad-source to add a dummy "Source:" line to debian/control, but I wonder how many other source packages are going to be broken by this. Could dpkg-dev be easily changed to tolerate (again) a debian/control file without a Source: line? That would be safer at this stage of the release game. If this is really just my bad then please reassign this bug to thinkpad-source. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux thanatos 2.4.22 #1 Mon Sep 1 09:45:41 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii binutils 2.14.90.0.4-0.1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpio 2.5-1.1 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii make 3.80-4 The GNU version of the "make" util ii patch 2.5.9-1 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl [perl5] 5.8.0-18 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.8.0-18 Core Perl modules. -- no debconf information
