My build runs for 519 minutes, then fails with: dh_gencontrol -i dh_md5sums -i dh_builddeb -i dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `debian/tmp/DEBIAN/control' near line 6 package `boot-floppies': `Depends' field, syntax error after reference to package `zlib-bin' dh_builddeb: command returned error code make: *** [binary-indep] Error 1 I'm running dpkg 1.9.7, and the file it complains about contains: Package: boot-floppies Version: 2.3.5 Section: devel Priority: extra Architecture: all Depends: build-essential, glibc-pic, slang1-pic, libnewt-dev, libpopt-dev, zlib1g-dev, recode, gettext, m4, debiandoc-sgml, libi18n-langtags-perl, man-db, libpaperg, tetex-extra, perl5, libwww-perl, pointerize, libgd-dev, libbogl-dev (>= 0.1.6-1), bison, ash, dpkg-awk, flex, file, debhelper, gawk, python-dev, python-xml, busybox, bf-utf-source, zlib-bin [i386], dosfstools [powerpc alpha m68k], linuxdoc-tools [powerpc], snarf [powerpc] Recommends: sudo Installed-Size: 3272 Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <[email protected]> Description: Scripts to create the Debian installation floppy set. This package allows you to create a Debian installation system on floppy disk or other media, for bootstrapping Debian onto a new system. Most users will simply download the disk images to do this, and this package will generally only be used by advanced Debian maintainers. So, I guess it is the [i386] it doesn't like. I'm guessing I need a newer dpkg, but I don't see a 1.9.8 for m68k yet. Can someone confirm that, before I chew up another 9hrs of cpu? Thanks, Richard
