Severity: important
dpkg-gencontrol ignore Depends field in debian/control if a variable
such as ${shlibs:Depends} or ${perl:Depends} is used. Everything is fine
when specifying package names without variables.
exemple :
if I have
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${perl:Depends}, iptables
in debian/control, dpkg-gencontrol -O does not show any Depends: field.
but if I put :
Depends: iptables
it works.
Works fine here:
mizar:[/tmp/hello-2.1.1] grep Depends debian/control
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, foo
mizar:[/tmp/hello-2.1.1] dpkg-gencontrol -O |grep Depends
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
Depends: foo
Perhaps you can show how to reproduce the problem exactly.
delog and relog fixed the problem !?
Maybe an environment problem ?
